Description



Book Synopsis



"A clear and decisive dose of joyful reality--your return to the most meaningful and fulfilling aspects of life begins with reading this book!" --Cheryl Richardson, New York Times best-selling author of The Art of Extreme Self-Care

For readers of Anne Lamott and Ross Gay, a bite-size invitation to disrupt the hustle and rediscover joy and wonder in our daily lives

For decades, consumerism has espoused the same message: money equals success, and if you aren't happy, you aren't shopping in the right store. Now, with a new cover and updated content for today's challenges, The Best Things in Life Aren't Things offers practical guidance for those seeking something beyond the grind.

Self-proclaimed warrior for optimism Joann Davis encourages us to cultivate "life support" in 4 key areas: words, thoughts, experiences, and deeds. Borrowing from ancient and contemporary wisdom, Davis inspires thoughtful introspection through:

  • timeless essays on meaning, plus 3 new bite-size sections
  • reflection questions like "Will you measure success by what you have or how you live?"
  • a directory of small wonders that bring profound joy

In our fast-paced world, this little book is a powerful reminder of the intrinsic truths we've been trained to overlook. It invites us to explore all that life has to offer--and what we can give in return.
