The Joy Plan is a step-by-step guide on how you can ditch depression, anxiety, stress, and plan for joy in your life. 

Kaia Roman is a mother, wife, and businesswoman with a lot on her plate. When her business collapses with her husband and two kids relying on her, she finds herself weighed down by depression. She is the type of person who always has a plan. What happens this time when she doesn't? How is she supposed to take care of her family and herself when she can barely get out of bed?

Determined to turn her life around and put her ingrained habits of stress and anxiety behind her, Kaia decided to put everything else on hold and dedicate thirty days to the singular pursuit of joy. The results were astonishing—and lasted much longer than the initial monthlong project.

In this uplifting and eye-opening memoir complete with advice and exercises, Kaia uses her business savvy to create a concrete Joy Plan to get back on her feet fast. Using scientific research on hormones, neurotransmitters, and mindfulness, along with the daily dedication to creating a more joyful existence, Kaia teaches readers how to move past temporary happiness and succeed in creating joy that lasts.

      Businesswoman Roman presents an energized and informative plan for transforming your life, just as she transformed hers. When Roman’s startup unexpectedly closed shop, she was distraught until she heard about a new life practice based on the “law of attraction”: the idea that positive attracts positive. Roman decided to try it. This book charts the results of her successful first 30 days (and beyond) and includes Roman’s tips for creating a “joy plan,” inspirational exhortations such as “the optimist creed,” and the alphabet of gratitude. Roman makes transforming your life sound possible. All that’s required is that you shift your thoughts toward positive stories instead of the negative ones so many of us tell ourselves. Roman also identifies simple steps that readers can adopt, such as creating a vision board or writing a letter to a long-term partner. To skeptics of her approach, she cheerfully admits that “many people... wanted to vomit” in response to her “overabundance of happiness.” Just as many people, however, caught “the buzz from joy.” Readers who keep an open mind throughout may become believers.
