Description
Dr. Rosell Jenkins’ book, Cultivating Joy: Sheltering Within During Life’s Storms, defines joy not as momentary pleasure, but as “a sense of inner contentment and stability.” In order to get readers to that point, Jenkins, a psychologist, details how to recognize joy, how to overcome temporary sadness, how to incorporate joy in our lives, and how to maintain joy even in the down times.
In a series of short chapters, she asks questions of the reader, relates episodes of her own disappoint¬ment and resurgence of joy, recounts professional experiences helping join others to their joy, and clearly explains how to cultivate joy in our daily lives.
Throughout her book, Jenkins emphasizes the importance of practicing joy. If we practice the giving and receiving of love and mind¬fulness of the present moment, we are closer to daily joy. Joy is a feeling and thus subject to our minds’ take on daily occurrences. As Jenkins says, “Every day you get to choose” to be sad, to be outraged, to be disap¬pointed, to be joyful. And that choice is dependent on how we think about events, not the event itself.
