I experienced a major letdown in my professional life when an online health business I started failed to thrive, and ultimately I had to let it go. Although there are far worse fates than the failure of an Internet business, it felt like the last straw in a long string of failures in my life that all pointed to my inability to do anything right. My self-esteem hit an all-time low. As I sunk into depression, my friend Niko inspired me to try an experiment. She suggested that if I focused on making joy my top priority for one month, my entire life would turn around. With no job, no plan, and no other ideas, I decided to give it a try. For 30 days, I went after joy from all angles—from the scientific to the spiritual, and everything in between. The results were so astonishing, I had to write it down! Although The Joy Plan is my story, I include extensive resources for readers to create their own Joy Plans, which is what I hope the book will inspire.

Ever since I was five years old I have loved to write. As a child, I used to make my own books and then record myself reading them out loud so I could listen to my custom audio books while looking at the pictures I drew. So writing a book, for me, is like fulfilling a childhood fantasy. Now I am also blogging and making a living as a freelance writer, which suits me so much better as an introvert than the very extroverted work I did in marketing prior to my Joy Plan. I feel most at home when my fingers are clicking away on the keyboard.
