Joyful, Anyway

The bestselling author and Duke University professor discovers the true magic of joy: it appears when we least expect it--and even if we don’t feel happy, we can be joyful, anyway. After surviving a stage-four cancer diagnosis, Kate Bowler knew she was supposed to be grateful. Alive. Blessed. But she still ached--for more connection, more surprise, less resentment on an ordinary day. So she went looking for joy. Not the toxic positivity kind. Not a 5-step plan. But the type that sneaks in unexpectedly, seemingly out of nowhere. A lemur sunbathing. A belly laugh at a funeral. A dive into the Atlantic with a shark wrangler. In This is not a book about fixing your life. It is about how we can all find more--feel more--by making room for small extraordinary moments.; For anyone who has ever felt stuck, who is achy for meaning, who feels undone by loss, who feels that joy is just out of reach, who wants, simply, to have more fun,
