As a mother, a wife, and a businesswoman, Kaia Roman always had a plan. But when her biggest plan, the business she co-founded, collapsed, Kaia found herself crushed by depression. And what felt even worse was that, with a husband and two kids relying on her, she didn't have a plan to move forward. Determined to turn her life around and put her ingrained habits of stress and anxiety behind her, Kaia decided to put everything else on hold and dedicate thirty days to the singular pursuit of joy. The results were astonishing—and lasted much longer than the initial month-long project. In this uplifting and eye-opening memoir, Kaia uses her business savvy to create a month-long Joy Plan to get back on her feet fast. Using scientific research on hormones, neurotransmitters, and mindfulness, along with the daily dedication to creating a more joyful existence, Kaia teaches readers how to go beyond temporary happiness and succeed in creating joy that lasts.

      Narrator Christina Moore inhabits the soul of this audiobook by a likable writer and entrepreneur who had to pull herself out of depression when her business collapsed. Moore's pleasing vocal tone and conversational rhythms are perfect for expressing the author's beguiling sincerity and faith in the goodness of the universe. More than a feel-good audio, Kaia Roman's book is a nifty blend of autobiographical vignettes and detailed insights about the biology of emotions, which together give her compact advice appealing gravitas. Chatty writing and a steady supply of her personal success stories make her advice sound true: Anyone depressed or unhappy with their life can learn what gives them joy--and then do those things and think those things that create that joy day after day.

      Businesswoman Roman presents an energized and informative plan for transforming your life, just as she transformed hers. When Roman’s startup unexpectedly closed shop, she was distraught until she heard about a new life practice based on the “law of attraction”: the idea that positive attracts positive. Roman decided to try it. This book charts the results of her successful first 30 days (and beyond) and includes Roman’s tips for creating a “joy plan,” inspirational exhortations such as “the optimist creed,” and the alphabet of gratitude. Roman makes transforming your life sound possible. All that’s required is that you shift your thoughts toward positive stories instead of the negative ones so many of us tell ourselves. Roman also identifies simple steps that readers can adopt, such as creating a vision board or writing a letter to a long-term partner. To skeptics of her approach, she cheerfully admits that “many people... wanted to vomit” in response to her “overabundance of happiness.” Just as many people, however, caught “the buzz from joy.” Readers who keep an open mind throughout may become believers.
