Publisher's summary

Reclaim your joy and personal power and find healing in this radical guide to powerful stories and meditations rooted in neuroscience.

Your pain is not fair or just. You are not broken because you feel it deeply. Yet every footstep you take toward Joy, even while still living with fear or rage, is a radical act of Justice that defies the oppressive weight of your pain and creates a powerful change in your biochemistry.
Joy is here for you.
Joy is your birthright.
It’s my mission to make sure you find yours.
And this book will lead you there.
--from the Prologue

If you’ve been pushed to the margin of conversations on well-being…If you think finding Joy is “too hard” or only for people who are “resilient enough,” here is a radical guide that will open you to the potential of healing, rooted in powerful stories, potent guided meditations and neuroscience.

In Joy Is My Justice, Integrative physician and activist Tanmeet Sethi shares her methods for shifting your nervous system and biochemistry into Joy at the cellular level. You can reclaim Joy—as you reclaim your personal power, strength, and purpose—despite the burden of living in an unjust world, despite past traumas, and despite any platitudes that a whitewashed wellness world says about your capacity.

Everyone alive will endure great pain—multiple times and usually beyond your control. An invitation to everyone whom “wellness” has left behind, Joy Is My Justice will help you rediscover your Joy, not as a destination or solution but as a profound practice for healing.

Inspiring story, relatable, realistic healing

Dr. Sethi has done the work and speaks from experience, setting her book apart from others by telling her own story of struggle as well as how she has learned from her patients. This is easy to listen to and I enjoyed the pauses with brief practices related to the stories. The tips for practice were presented in a way that honored all abilities and readiness. Anyone who reads this book will walk away empowered with tools to heal themselves, and inspiration to feel joy even in the midst of struggle and pain.
