We must learn to look outside ourselves to find it. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn a world where mental health issues and loneliness are at an all-time high, it's more important than ever to find ways to cultivate joy, community, and meaning in our lives. Many of us feel trapped within ourselves, struggling to find a way out of our own negative thoughts and emotions. Author and psychologist Richard Beck (\u003ci\u003eHunting Magic Eels\u003c\/i\u003e) argues that we are struggling because our shape is currently \"curved inward.\" We are self-focused, self-absorbed, ruminative. We're trapped inside ourselves. And we're definitely not happy or filled with joy. So how do we control our egos and ambition when those drives have been useful to us in the past? How do we engage our imagination and our faith?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn his latest book, \u003ci\u003eThe Shape of Joy\u003c\/i\u003e, Beck offers a powerful argument for how we can break free and rediscover the transcendent and the sacred. Beck argues that to find true joy and fulfillment, we need to understand the importance of \"curving outward\" and moving beyond the self to encounter true lovingness. Drawing from the principles of positive psychology, Beck explores concepts like gratitude, mindfulness, ego volume, and the small self to provide readers with a road map toward a healthier, happier, and more fulfilling life. Whether you're struggling with mental health issues, yearning for a deeper connection with your faith, or simply seeking greater happiness and fulfillment, \u003ci\u003eThe Shape of Joy\u003c\/i\u003e will offer you an inspiring vision for a better future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 174\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.68 x 8.73 x 5.86 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 15, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47375789031602,"sku":"9781506496726","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/b00407caca93991eed6974d33df47523.webp?v=1777693363","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/the-shape-of-joy-the-transformative-power-of-moving-beyond-yourself-hardcover","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
