Find your joie or joy with this guided journal that brings a Parisian perspective to your everyday life and allows you to tap into the things that bring you gratitude and happiness, from the author of Joie.
While the French may have a reputation for grumpiness, they let nothing get in the way of their joie. They also know joy is not a feeling but something you cultivate. In fact, Parisian author Ajiri Aki reminds us that joy can be found anywhere--you only need to seek it out. Much like a gratitude or mindfulness practice, pursuing joy can put you in a calmer, happier state of mind, by helping you focus on the little things that make you happy in the moment. Choose one of the twenty-five challenges, make a plan to follow through, and then use the prompts to reflect on the joy that activity brought you. Whether it's buying yourself flowers, hosting a small gathering, or taking a trip down memory lane, this journal offers small, actionable ways to bring more joy into your life. Once filled, it becomes a reminder of your own joie de vivre that you can look back on whenever you need a boost.Author Biography
