Bestselling author and renowned psychologist Kelly McGonigal offers a ground-breaking look at joy and how we can embrace it

In this paradigm-shifting book psychologist Kelly McGonigal reveals that joy gives life meaning, sustains hope, and helps us feel close to others. It is the emotion that tells us: life is worth living, good things are possible, and you are not alone.

And yet, many people find it difficult to allow themselves to feel, show, or even seek joy. Instead, we worry: Is it selfish to want joy? Is joy even possible when life is hard?

Weaving together personal storytelling with insights from psychology, neuroscience, and research conducted around the world, McGonigal offers tangible ways to experience this powerful emotion in everyday life. You'll discover:

- How joy works in the brain and body to provide relief
- How to create moments of meaning, connection, and celebration, in challenging times
- Why joy is a form of social support, and how to bring joy to others
- Strategies to counteract joy dampening that keeps us from enjoying good moments
- Tools to navigate common obstacles to joy, such as envy, guilt, anxiety, and grief
- 20 "joy experiments" you can begin implementing today

Motivating and uplifting, Joy Is a Risk Worth Taking shows that seeking and sharing joy is an act of courage and compassion-and one you can take even when life is difficult.©2026 Kelly McGonigal, Ph.D. (P)2026 Penguin Random House Audio Persönliche Entwicklung Persönlicher Erfolg Seelische & Geistige Gesundheit
