I found some parts of this book interesting, but overall, I was hoping for a bit more. The constantly used anology didn't really interest me and the writing was a bit tedious to get through. I really liked the idea, it just wasn't quite what I was expecting.

I am reviewing a copy of Joy Switch through Moody Publishers/Northfield Publishing and Netgalley:


Life can be hard when you don’t feel like yourself.



Why is it that at times we feel more connected in our relationships, than we do at other times? There are times it is easy and even exciting to spend time with our loved ones. There are times though that especially when things don’t according to plan, you feel incapable of connecting in conversations. It is those times we often feel as if we are far and distant. What if staying connected to your relationships has been right inside your head all along?





The Joy Switch allows you to discover the simple switch in your brain that activates—or deactivates—what you most need for relational connectivity. This book helps the reader learn to flip this brain switch either and enables you to remain present for those around you or causes you to become overwhelmed—and ultimately inhibited from being your best self—when problems arise. You will learn how to maximize your relational brain and how to recognize when your brain’s joy switch is flipped, and how to take steps to restore your relational sweet-spot. In this book you will find help in learning how to stay connected with one another while being the best version of who you are meant to be.



I give The Joy Switch five out of five stars!


Happy Reading!

What is joy? Why do we yearn for it?

In this book, the author looks at ways people may find joy. Unfortunately, their approach is man centred, not God centred, the source of all joy.
