The Joy of Life: Your Guide to Finding More Joy in Your Daily Life
Research shows that a life threatening disease or accident can profoundly change people’s values and view on life. They start appreciating other things than they did before, complain less and feel more joy of life.
Ingrid Johansson, PhD, lives in Sweden. Eight years ago she survived lung cancer and thus knows from her personal experience how a serious disease can change a person’s values. In order to help other people find more joy in their daily life without first having a life threatening experience she wrote a book entitled “The Joy of Life: Your Guide to Finding More Joy in Your Daily Life”. The book was published in August 2015 and is available as an e-book and a paperback on http://www.amazon.com/dp/B013C9QTS2
In the book the author presents the result of a survey on joy of life, which showed that the informants found it difficult to describe what joy of life is and how it feels but easy to narrate situations when they felt joy of life.The results also revealed that the informants’ subjective experience of feeling joy of life was much less than their experience of how important it is.
Based on research and the author’s own experience, seven keys to finding more joy of life are described and discussed in the book.The keys are: Self-knowledge, Openness to change, Gratitude, Forgiveness, No regrets, Laughter, smiles and humor, and Good relationships.
In her book the author stresses the importance of living by choice and not by chance.One of the customer reviewers of the book on Amazon.co.uk said: “The tone in Ingrid Johansson’s book is personal, warm and dedicated. She does not present any quick fix but points at positive possible ways. She makes us understand in depth what a gift Life is.” In another review on Amazon.com it was stated: “This book will help you to change your views on life and live with exuberance and passions.”
