Everyday Joy: Or, How To Be Happier and Healthier, and Party All The Time
"A must-read for anyone who's contemplated life's contemplatables" - bestselling author Paul Jarvis.
Wouldn't it be nice to experience joy each and every day of your life?
Wouldn't it feel liberating to be able to transcend painful experiences?
Wouldn't it be great to be a happier person, and help the people you love grow happier too?
Jam-packed with practical exercises, and hard-won lessons from the author's life, Everyday Joy was written for anyone who wants to experience greater happiness, joy, and fulfilment each and every day of their life.
But this is not your typical "self-help" book. In a series of short, to-the-point articles, author Zachary Stockill tackles subjects like drugs, death, and desire with great humour and sensitivity, all the while offering no-nonsense suggestions and perspectives on growing into a happier, healthier human being.
Part self-help guide, part intimate-memoir, Everyday Joy offers a radical re-interpretation of the idea of "partying," and shows how you can, in fact, choose to "party" every day of your life. If you are someone who wants to be happier, more peaceful, and more open to experiencing real joy in each and every moment, this book was written for you.
PRAISE FOR EVERYDAY JOY:
"A must-read for anyone who's contemplated life's contemplatables... Everyday Joy offers an interesting and inspirational new look at the human condition."
--Paul Jarvis, bestselling author of Everything I Know
"Simply put: Everyday Joy belongs on your bookshelf, sandwiched between Alan Watts and Tom Robbins... A perfect cocktail mixing clarity, humour, and deep insight that goes down smooth."
--Zach Obront, blogger and entrepreneur
"Everyday Joy showed me just how much being stuck in the stresses of my to-do list was getting in the way of a fulfilled life, and inspired me to stop, look up into the world, and breathe again."
--Matthew Newton, founder of TourTiger.com, and co-host of Web Agency Podcast
"This book is great... Sometimes I get nostalgic for those fun, late-night conversations with the intellectually curious 20-somethings I went to college with, when we used to talk about life--trying to figure things out, sharing stories, pushing boundaries (and getting exceptionally drunk in the process). That's exactly what Everyday Joy felt like. Very enjoyable read!"
--Joshua Waldman, author of Job Searching with Social Media for Dummies

This was a quick, simple read but one I imagine I'll return to. The author writes like he's talking to a friend. I could almost imagine sitting across from him as he talked about his beliefs. Throughout, I found myself highlighting passages and taking several moments to muse over them and how they applied to my life.
Multiple times when I turned to the book to start reading, the topics seemed perfectly applicable to situations I'm going through right now. They helped give me a better perspective, and find peace.
Definitely worth the read!
