A prescriptive on how to re-discover joy and live with it in our
personal, professional, and creative lives, written by a top music
executive who guided the careers of legendary hip-hop, R&B, and pop
singers.
In her thirty years working as a music industry executive at Island Def
Jam and Jive Records, Grace Harry has lived her many creative lives at
the intersection of music, art, and the passionate pursuit of joy--a
long forgotten, but vital birthright. Many of us have no idea what joy
truly is, and capturing it is often easier said than done.
In The Joy Strategist, Grace takes readers on a journey to explore all
dimensions of joy: how we find it, how we can re-discover it, and how we
can incorporate it into our daily lives.
Sometimes lighthearted and always real, The Joy Strategist shows
readers how to break through creative or emotional ruts that keep them
from tapping into their innate ability to feel true and unfettered joy.
Grace coaches readers with meaningful autobiographical anecdotes and her
toolbox of playful activities, which include:
--Reconnecting with your "inner GPS," the pilot light that guided you
toward joyful experience without inhibition as a child.
--Ceasing the war you've waged against your Heart and heal the wounds
preventing you from giving and receiving love.
-- Cultivating your "Starting Five," or the community of people closest
to you that will show up and support you on your journey, and how to
best show up for them as well.
--Breaking free from your Ego and dismantling the limiting beliefs that
keep your deepest hopes and aspirations out of grasp.
A mix of memoir, prescriptive self-help exercises, and cultural
commentary on joy, The Joy Strategist will equip readers to define
what exactly brings them joy so that they can live lives imbued with
wonder, self-love, and creative abundance.
