Product Details


Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Beck, author of the bestselling Finding Your Own North Star and columnist for O magazine, delivers another useful and sure-to-be-popular self-help guide. The Joy Diet, designed for the soul rather than the body, is composed of 10 steps that, once learned, are to be practiced on a daily basis to achieve greater fulfillment and a happier life. Beck strongly suggests becoming thoroughly familiar with each step, by practicing it for a week, before adding the next step. According to the author, the first step, spending 15 uninterrupted minutes a day doing nothing (meditating, engaging in repetitive physical activity, staring at some natural motion like flowing water), is the hardest to learn and the basis for all the other activities. She contends that a daily period of mindful silence provides a sanctuary that no one can ever take from you. The other nine steps include methods for dealing with emotional pain, identifying true desires, employing creativity to realize yearnings and taking appropriate risks. Beck advocates daily self-nourishment through play, humor and the enjoyment of at least three personalized treats. Written in a down-to-earth, positive tone, the author's thoughtfully designed exercises, inspirational anecdotes and gentle advice should fall on fertile ground. National publicity.

From AudioFile

Based on Beck's excellent book, this imaginative audio lesson offers a neat list of daily practices designed to reconnect us with our souls, nourish our creativity, reward us for our efforts and worth, and connect us with others in a supportive, loving way. The often beautiful ideas are very current, a great example of today's measured focus on the higher aspects of the self and the tools we must use to manifest our strengths. Most remarkable is Beck's speaking style, which reveals a well-tested but youthful character. It grounds her remarkably fresh ideas in the voice of an optimistic sage. These prescriptions will be inviting to everyone, especially those who've been overlooking their growing levels of stress and unhappiness.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not quite as good as North Star, April 25 2004
By A Customer
I read this book after reading -- and loving -- Follow Your North Star (Martha Beck's earlier self-help book). While The Joy Diet has some excellent advice, it lacks the depth of her earlier book. Still, there were definitely some light-bulb moments for me as I read the book -- like when she talks about the need to make time for "feasts" throughout your day (and she's not talking food). I will definitely be waiting for Martha's next book, however. She is a wonderful writer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book to get you out of a rut! :), Feb 24 2004
By creativedawn (Bullhead City, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
This book was a surprising help to change my life for the better. It really had some great ideas to follow to add fun back into my life! As a recovering workaholic, the ideas in this book really showed me things missing from my life & small steps I could take to make changes. I highly recommend this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Faith in your heart, Jan 28 2004
By A Customer
This book showed me the secret truth my heart already knew...that the key to finding your home is to follow what your heart tells you, come what may. Sensationally insightful book. Highly recommended with an even stronger recommendation for Beck's Following Your Own North Star. Caution: her message is powerfully redemptive but not for the fainthearted.

4.0 out of 5 stars some good advice
Like many self-help books, there's a lot of common sense stuff in The Joy Diet. But I like the author's approach to the subject of seeking happiness in our life. Read more
