Millions-selling author and creator of Joy School Lisa McCourt outlines her unique formula for sustainable happiness, offering a year''s worth of activities, prompts, and techniques that raise your “joy setpoint” so you can cultivate authentic, lasting peace and fulfillment in your daily life. 2024 Finalist, International Book Awards, Self Help: General Category and Spirituality: General Category Unprecedented global events have left many of us feeling depleted, depressed, isolated, and disconnected from many of the things that made us happy. Lisa McCourt, host of the Do Joy! podcast and founder of Joy School, helps people raise their joy setpoints regardless of what is happening around them. Learning about joy is one thing, but it’s the doing that actually shifts your energy. McCourt offers a unique approach to joy and emotional wellness, outlining a year-long adventure in happiness that can be started on any day of the year. Joy is not an elusive fantasy to be chased; it is simply a skill to be learned, practiced, and mastered. McCourt takes readers, month by month, through the life-altering principles of vibration elevation that she has taught for 20 years through her Joy School. Each of the 12 “keys” to experiencing sustainable, authentic joy builds sequentially upon the previous one to create a progressive shifting of the reader''s inner landscape to one of joy and ease. As the inner landscape transforms, transformation of the external reality inevitably follows. McCourt offers weekly “homeplay” for the reader to take into their daily experience which, when followed, upgrade their thought patterns and default reactions into beneficial new habits of thought and behavior. Upon completion of the final key, the reader is invited along the “spiral,” cycling through the keys again from their newly elevated joy setpoint. Our journey toward ever greater realms of joy and personal freedom is never concluded; we can spiral through the steps, year after year, always recalibrating our lives to ever more fulfilling levels.

Are you living your richest, gutsiest, juiciest life? Do you feel all the exquisite bliss and sweetness you can imagine? If not – if you aren''t experiencing the abundance and personal freedom you crave; if you''re not vitally and deeply connected with your loved ones; if you''re unable to attract and maintain a soul-nurturing, awe-inspiring, passionate primary relationship-it can only mean one thing. You are not expressing the full truth of who you are. Well, it''s time to change that! Juicy Joy is a streamlined path to radical authenticity and the ability to flat-out adore that precious, imperfectly perfect you. Living juicy-joyfully is not a matter of adding anything to yourself. It''s simply a matter of shedding the limitations that separate you from your true core being-the limitations that trap you in the numbness and detachment that have become distressingly "normal" in our culture. Wouldn''t it feel amazing to trust your instincts and fearlessly act on them? Isn''t it time to gain mastery over your experience of life, shed victimhood, and learn to honor the voice within you that always, unfailingly leads you to your greatest joy and highest truth? Juicy Joy is an invitation to a bigger life-a deeper, richer, more rewarding existence. And it will launch you into an enduring love affair with your glorious, genuine self!
