It is the\nemotion that tells us: life is worth living, good things are possible, and you\nare not alone.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAnd yet, many people find it difficult to allow themselves to feel, show, or\neven seek joy. Instead, we worry: Is it selfish to want joy? Is joy even\npossible when life is hard? Instead of turning to joy as a resource, we try to\nprotect ourselves from the perceived risks of caring too much. What if,\ninstead, you were able to trust the feeling of joy and appreciate the good in\nyour life? And what if you were able to help others experience the benefits\nthat joy provides?\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWeaving together personal storytelling with insights from psychology,\nneuroscience, and research conducted around the world, McGonigal offers\ntangible ways to experience this powerful emotion in everyday life.
