A Book to Keep

I recently checked this out from my local library, but decided it was one I wanted to own and refer to often. The author provides new ways to deal with our feelings and teaches us how to let go of everything that blocks our experience of joy.

Fantastic Guidance in Clear Language

I loved Carolyn Hobb's book, "Joy No Matter What." There are a lot of self-help books out but none quite as clearly written as this one. Very inspiring. Simple yet profound. Wonderful stories and anecdotes that offer great wisdom. I like how Carolyn takes each feeling, mind and belief habbit and offers practice tools to support healthy changes. This is a book that you would pass on to a friend or client in need of support regarding any life challenge, of course after reading it yourself. And you don't even have to read the whole book. You can go to the section that deals with your specific challenge. I find I go back to this book again and again as the challenges change and I need different support tools for the new life situation.

Wisdom that belongs at the bedside and desktop, appealing to a wide audience.As a bodyworker, writer and teacher who supports elders through life transitions,I find that I reach for JOY as a faithful guide and tool.

This book is alive!

As a chiropractor I have a great interest in that which brings peace, more joy and freedom into anyone's life. In reading Carolyn Hobb's book, 'Joy, No Matter What', she condensed what I have been trying to communicate for some 28 years. This book is alive! One gets the sense that Ms. Hobbs has experieced completely what she is writing about and holds nothing back in communicating her deepest truths. If you are interested in playing full out in life, holding nothing back, this book is a must read.
