The Joy Diet: 10 Daily Practices for a Happier Life by Martha Beck

5.0

I adore Martha Beck. She's one of my favourite life coaching mentors. I thought I'd read every book she's ever written -- until I came across this one at my local library. I picked it up, thinking it was a traditional diet book. (Martha has written on food and body image before, in THE FOUR DAY WIN.) However, I was delighted -- and not altogether surprised -- to find that THE JOY DIET offers various "menu items" for living a happier, more fulfilling life.

As always, Beck approaches these topics with her unique blend of compassion, insight, and humour. It's a heady mix that speaks straight to my soul. I took countless notes, and I began applying the suggested exercises in my life immediately. I saw an improvement in my overall well-being and peace of mind right away. As always, Beck's books land in my lap just when I need them most.
