If you’re in a season of self-discovery or asking deeper questions about who you are and the life you want to create, find yourself feeling disconnected from yourself, or have come to realize that you’ve been living according to others’ expectations rather than what feels authentic and true to you, then this book is for you.

This is one of my favorite books! It offers a refreshing perspective on what it means to live authentically. It goes beyond the idea of simply “being happier” and guides you towards exploring the beliefs, fears, and patterns that may be keeping you disconnected from yourself and from joy, while gently guiding you toward becoming the most authentic version of yourself as you step into the person you’re becoming. Throughout the book, you’re encouraged to trust yourself, reconnect with your dreams, and remember the version of yourself that you’re becoming is already waiting for you as begin the process of reconnecting with what matters most.

I appreciated the journal prompts, inspiring quotes, and mantras/affirmations at the end of the chapters, which makes it easy to reflect on what you’re learning and being applying it to your own life. It helps move insight and reflection into action.

From the Publisher

Do you feel like you’re not where you’re supposed to be, off track or simply exhausted from trying so hard to make things work?

Your “true self” has an easier plan—and is just aching to show you the way.

The relentless pressure to succeed, measure up, and reach for ever higher goals can leave us feeling like we’re just not good enough—or that something’s missing. At the end of the day, after giving it our all, the last thing we want to feel is hopeless, anxious, and disconnected.

International speaker and empowerment coach Shannon Kaiser understands why so many of us, despite our best intentions, cling to these patterns. Better yet, Kaiser knows how to get us out of the vicious, draining cycle. Committed to finding meaning, connection, and joy in our day-to-day lives, she’s traveled the world in search of the universal truths and spiritual wisdom we desperately need today. Joy Seeker is her transformational approach to life, drawn from her own life-changing experiences. It is a path to discovering our true self—the hero within.

The Joy Seeker plan:
• Get unstuck and discover what matters most
• Regain hope and faith in yourself, others, and the world
• Discover the “poetry within”—that special thing that makes you so unique
• Gain the courage to actualize yourself and your deepest desires
• Live with more purpose, passion, and freedom
The path of the Joy Seeker is an intimate, active pursuit filled with opportunities for journaling as well as “Joy Jaunts”—exercises designed to help us break out of our comfort zone. It’s time to become your best self. It’s time to live worry-free in your wildest dreams. It’s time to be your own Joy Seeker.
