Over the past few weeks I have been reading "Soul Coaching: 28 Days to Discover Your Authentic Self" by Denise Linn. I like the book because it is a very simple and structured way to get started on figuring out where you want to go in this life and what is holding you back. I would mainly suggest it for people who are just starting out on their journey to becoming more joyful but even as someone who has traveled fairly far, I found some very useful exercises and insights.
The book focuses on one area of your self each day. One day is removing clutter, another day is about gratitude, another about looking at the turning points in your life, another about being present in the moment. You get the idea.
Each day there are 3 exercises you can do ... an easy one, one that takes some effort and one that helps you go deeply into the area of the day. You can do one or all three. The exercises are primarily journaling exercises with some real life applications as well. They are all quite manageable to do each day.
If this book doesn't sing to you but you are eager to get started, there are two books that started me out on my journey a few years ago... "The Happiness Project" by Gretchen Rubin and "The Joy Diet" by Martha Beck.
YOUR TURN
Find a book that can help you jump start your journey to being more joyful. If you have found a great book already, please share!
