Download The Joy Diet: Ten Daily Practices for a Happier Life AudioBook Free
Welcome to The Joy Diet, a menu of ten behaviors you can include to your way of living and thinking to improve every day’s journey through the unpredictable terrain of your existence. You can add these behaviors slowly but surely and watch your life become steadily more vivid and satisfying. Or you can go on a “crash Joy Diet” to help you navigate life’s emergencies.
The ten menu items are:
• Nothing: Do nothing for 15 minutes every day. Stop mindlessly chasing goals and figure out which goals are worth seeking.
• Truth: Create a moment of truth to help you unmask what you’re hiding—from others and from yourself.
• Desire: Identify, articulate, and explore at least one of your heart’s desires—and understand how to let yourself want what you would like.
• Creativity: Learn six new ways to develop at least one new idea to help you obtain your heart’s desire.
• Risk: Take one baby step toward reaching your goal. The sole rule is it has to scare the pants off you.
• Treats: Give yourself a treat for every risk you take and two treats because you’re you. No exceptions. No excuses.
• Play: Take a moment to keep in mind your real life’s work and differentiate it from the games you play to accomplish it. Then play wholeheartedly.
• Laughter: Laugh at least thirty times every day. Props encouraged.
• Connection: Use your Joy Diet skills to connect to a person who matters for you.
• Feasting: Enjoy at least three square feasts every day, with or without food.
No matter what your long-term goals are, The Joy Diet, written with Martha Beck’s inimitable blend of
wisdom, practical guidance, and humor, will help you achieve the immediate present of joyful moving into the here
and now. Begin your journey today.
