Lovely and uplifting book Every chapter introduces a new way of looking at or experiencing joy in life.

There are plenty that cover how to deal with the stress and anxiety of tougher times in life.

This book would make a good present for someone you care about, but who doesn't always see the joy in life..

Joyful Living was a pleasure to read. It was a welcomed upbeat change to the usual self help books. Amy leads the reader to help them find their joy. I really love the inspirational stories.

While I enjoyed this book, there were a couple of things I wish would have been added, and even taken away. I did read this book on my Kindle, so the print edition may be different, but I wish there had been pictures included. I think it would have added to the serenity of the book. Or when she talked about various projects to make, taking pictures of the various steps (even though everyone’s final project will be different), or just showing Amy Leigh Mercree’s end product.

The other thing was that I felt some of the suggestions were very close to previous suggestions. I imagine this was to fulfil the 101 requirement, but in this case, I do believe less could have been more. Perhaps doing 50 or 52 (to correlate with the weeks in the year) entries.

A nice thing about the book was that you could pick and choose what you wanted to do, and if you need to focus on certain parts of your life, she had those areas separated for easy reference. Also the beginning projects were more vague, and as you continued in the book they became more spiritual, which I liked. Here though, maybe this book could have been two books, one for the general public and one for those more in touch with their spiritual side.
