The Joy Reset

In The Joy Reset, Dr. McDonald helps readers identify barriers that prevent them from accessing joy--hypervigilance, emotional numbing, fear of loss, conditioning, guilt, and shame--and then redefines positive emotions as those tenacious, gritty, often tiny experiences that appear within the darkest moments and form the very foundation of psychological resilience. Rooted in the neurobiology that explains how and why trauma and suffering can impede our path to hope and joy, Dr. McDonald shares exercises that make joy and gratitude both bite-sized and accessible, inviting readers to welcome these emotions back in.

By emphasizing the very real ways that joy and hope show up even in our toughest moments, The Joy Reset empowers readers to find the light in the dark--no matter what.
