Protect yourself from burnout and find the balance you've been craving in this self care book for women.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Protect yourself from burnout and find the balance you've been craving in this self-care book for women.

Maybe you're feeling exhausted, both mentally and physically, from the last few years and all of the uncertainty and change that came with them. Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed and struggling to meet the constant demands on your time. Maybe you're finding it difficult to connect with the things that once added joy and meaning to your life. Or maybe you can't even remember what those things were. If you relate to one (or more!) of those statements, certified positive psychology practitioner Sophie Cliff is here to help.

Choose Joy's research, insights, and exercises will help you:

  • Reduce stress and change how you react to it (because busy schedules will never go away).
  • Uncover what really matters to you, not what your family or society tells you should matter.
  • Identify your core values and develop a new approach to achieving your goals.
  • Boost your self-confidence and realise that you're worthy of all the joy you've been dreaming about.

Research tells us that joy has a whole host of health benefits and now, using the tools in this book, you can start taking the necessary daily steps toward building a life that lights you up instead of drags you down.

Choose Joy is an empathetic and empowering resource for anyone struggling with burnout and self-limiting beliefs. The practical advice Sophie offers is something that we can all benefit from." - Mary Jelkovsky, bestselling author of The Gift of Self-Love

About the Author

Sophie Cliff (aka The Joyful Coach) is a certified coach and positive psychology practitioner who uses her expertise to help individuals and organisations flourish by finding more joy and prioritising wellbeing. Choose Joy- Relieve Burnout, Focus on Your Happiness, and Infuse More Joy into Your Everyday Life is her first book. Early in her career, Cliff scaled the corporate ranks at companies like the Walt Disney Company and venture-backed start-ups. But while on paper her life seemed perfect, she couldn't fight the feeling that there was something missing. When a family tragedy shook her life, Cliff decided to stop delaying decisions and following the wrong path. In 2018, she started The Joyful Coach, a business helping individuals and companies find purpose and joy. Now through her coaching, workshops and chart-topping podcast, Practical Positivity, Cliff helps people all over the world lead more joyful lives and has way more fun than she ever had in her previous career. Follow Sophie on Instagram @sophiecliff for your daily dose of joy.
