Inventing Joy

the long version

Hi, I'm Joy, and I've had the amazing fortune of living a life full of daring, creativity, and heart. My story, my life, with all its twists and unexpected turns, can at times seem like a work of fiction -- even to me, the person who actually lived it! I'm so excited to share it with you -- it's better than a romance novel because it's real! And the best part is, through it all, I've learned so much about ideas, dreams, and family. These are hard-won lessons that guide me in work and life, and can apply to everyone. After you read my story, you'll find my blueprint, where I've pulled everything I've learned together as a guide so you too can invent a more joyful life for yourself. So what are you waiting for? Let's get going! - Jacket.
