Choose Joy: Because Happiness Isn't Enough

Product Information

Sophie Cliff (aka The Joyful Coach) is a certified coach and positive psychology practitioner who uses her expertise to help individuals and organisations flourish by finding more joy and prioritising well-being. This vivid, unforgettable book is for people who have been wounded by their traumatic experiences of church; for those with mental health issues and their families; for those undergoing ‘deconstruction’ of their previous Christian belief; for those struggling to free themselves from the burden of other people’s expectations and find their authentic selves. The first two years, when I wasn’t being transported to therapies and doctors, I was mostly in bed or on the sofa. Each devotion begins with an encouraging Scripture, followed by Kay's wise words on how to live with joy even when life is hard, our plans are shattered, our health fails, or it feels like we are walking through life alone.
