NATIONAL BESTSELLER
Looking for the keys to a vibrant, joyful, vital life? Lifestyle
pioneer Debbie Travis has found them in the Tuscan hills. And in her
lively, inspiring way, she shares how to bring all that healthful magic
home in Joy, a glorious book infused with the warmth and colour of
life at the Villa Reniella, the thirteenth-century farmhouse retreat to
which she welcomes guests from around the world.
For more than ten years, Debbie Travis has watched the guests who come
to her Tuscan retreats transform over the course of a single week of
talking, walking, and eating together, until even the most driven and
stressed-out feel so much better about themselves. When it's time to
leave, they tell her it's the simple priorities of Tuscan life--the way
the village locals, from young to old, take time for each other every
day--that hit them in their hearts, and they pepper her with questions
about how to retain what they've experienced when they get home.
In Joy, Debbie offers the answers she gives them to all of us,
capturing the essentials of the Tuscan lifestyle in a series of ten
engaging and practical lessons--on everything from how to get a good
night's sleep, to how to find community and rediscover purpose, to how
to eat and drink like an Italian--designed to make our lives sweeter and
healthier. Delightfully down-to-earth, Debbie draws on her own life
experience, the example of her Tuscan neighbours, whose fabled longevity
springs from the wisdom she captures in her lessons, and the expertise
of her long-time friend and colleague, nutritional therapist Jacky
Brown. Whether you wish to hit the reset button, start a new endeavour,
regain your confidence, turn a page in your relationship, make changes
to your worklife or your community, or simply reboot your vitality,
these lessons will help guide you to a life filled with joy.
