The Journey to Joy
I never thought I'd become an expert on happiness. For most of my life, I was far from joyful - in fact, I was downright miserable. But through an unexpected journey of self-discovery and mindfulness practice, I found a way to access joy on demand. Now, I want to share what I've learned so that you too can cultivate lasting happiness, regardless of your circumstances. My path to joy began when I was working as an early engineer at Google. Despite having what many would consider a dream job, I felt unfulfilled and unhappy. I started exploring meditation and mindfulness out of sheer desperation - I was miserable enough to try anything. To my surprise, I discovered that joy is a skill that can be developed through practice, much like building physical strength through exercise. Just as you can do bicep curls to strengthen your arms, there are mental exercises you can do to strengthen your capacity for joy. Through consistent practice, I was able to dramatically shift my baseline level of happiness. Even more remarkably, I found that I could eventually access a sense of joy and ease on demand, simply by tuning into my breath or cultivating loving-kindness.
