Product Description

Welcome to The Joy Diet, a menu of ten behaviors you can add to your way of living and thinking to enhance every dayâ‚¬s journey through the unpredictable terrain of your existence. You can add these behaviors gradually and watch your life become steadily more vivid and satisfying. Or you can go on a â‚¬Å“crash Joy Dietâ‚¬Â to help you navigate lifeâ‚¬s emergencies.
The ten menu items are:

â‚¬ Nothing: Do nothing for fifteen minutes a day. Stop mindlessly chasing goals and figure out which goals are worth going after.

â‚¬ Truth: Create a moment of truth to help you unmask what youâ‚¬re hidingâ‚¬"from others and from yourself.

â‚¬ Desire: Identify, articulate, and explore at least one of your heartâ‚¬s desiresâ‚¬"and learn how to let yourself want what you want.

â‚¬ Creativity: Learn six new ways to develop at least one new idea to help you obtain your heartâ‚¬s desire.

â‚¬ Risk: Take one baby step toward reaching your goal. The only rule is it has to scare the pants off you.

â‚¬ Treats: Give yourself a treat for every risk you take and two treats just because youâ‚¬re you. No exceptions. No excuses.

â‚¬ Play: Take a moment to remember your real lifeâ‚¬s work and differentiate it from the games you play to achieve it. Then play wholeheartedly.

â‚¬ Laughter: Laugh at least thirty times a day. Props encouraged.

â‚¬ Connection: Use your Joy Diet skills to interact with someone who matters to you.

â‚¬ Feasting: Enjoy at least three square feasts a day, with or without food.
