Summary: "Every footstep you take towards Joy is a radical act of Justice that defies the oppressive weight of your pain. Every decision to invite in hope or gratitude, even while still living with fear or rage, creates a powerful change in your biochemistry. You and only you choose which neurochemical will take strongest hold in your brain and heart; you choose what story your cells will hear. Many of us talk about trauma-indeed, have experienced real trauma, especially in these fraught times; healthcare providers are increasingly aware of the physiological effects of trauma. But what is the antidote? Too many times, platitudes of gratitude, "self care," and "just be brave" are offered-but what if these do more harm than good? What if the key to healing trauma is to face your pain, meet it lovingly, and then use it as rocket fuel for your personal revolution? What if the act of meeting your pain head on is a path to Joy? Integrative physician and healthcare activist Dr. Tanmeet Sethi knows this firsthand-from the patients she serves, to her own heartache and personal history. Choosing Joy is a life changing act of personal, biological, and spiritual justice-and an act of community service. Choosing Joy improves your mood and immune system and increases your energy. Choosing Joy is a revolution. In Joy Is My Justice, Dr. Sethi shares her methods for rewiring mind and body to shift our biochemistry into Joy at the cellular level. Grounded in powerful stories and potent guided meditations and self inquiries, Joy Is My Justice guides everyone to recover their personal power and purpose"-- Provided by publisher.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Reclaim your joy and personal power and find healing in this radical guide to powerful stories and meditations rooted in neuroscience.

If you think finding Joy is "too hard, too much to hope for," or only for people who are "resilient enough," if you've been made to feel broken or that your pain is your fault, here is a radical guide that will open you to the potential of healing, rooted in powerful stories, potent guided exercises and meditations, and neuroscience.



In Joy Is My Justice , Integrative Medicine Physician and activist Tanmeet Sethi shares her methods for shifting your nervous system and biochemistry into Joy at the cellular level. You can reclaim Joy--as you reclaim your personal power, strength, and purpose--despite the burden of living in an unjust world, despite past traumas, and despite what a whitewashed wellness world says about your capacity to do so.



Everyone alive will endure great pain--multiple times and usually beyond your control. An invitation to everyone whom "wellness" has left behind, Joy Is My Justice will help you rediscover your Joy, not as a destination or solution but as a profound practice for healing. Every footstep you take toward Joy is a radical act of Justice.
