The Joy Diet is designed not for the body, but for the soul. It is a series of ten behaviours you can add to your way of living and thinking to enhance your journey through the unpredictable terrain of existence. You can implement it gradually and watch your life become steadily more vivid and satisfying. Or you can use it as a `crash diet' to help you through any of life's emergencies. Martha Beck provides straightforward instructions for incorporating these behaviours into your life, and illustrates them with fascinating case studies from her Life Design practice. With a chapter on each of the ten habits (such as `stillness', `compassion' `laughter', and `creativity'), The Joy Diet encourages you to add one habit to your daily routine every week for ten weeks, and change your life. 160pp, 130mm x 197mm, softback, 2004
