“The Art of Living Joyfully: How to Be Happier Every Day of the Year” is written by Allen Klein. Klein is the author of “The Healing Power of Humor”, which is in its fortieth printing, and he’s a recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Association for Applied and Therapeutic Humor. If there is a man who can tell you how to be joyfully, Klein seems like the guy.
So what is “The Art of Living Joyfully”? It’s 179 pages of amusing and inspiring quotes, organized by subject matter, from the likes of Mark Twain, Plato, and George Washington Carver. Klein suggests you pick a single quote and post it in a few places where you’ll see it throughout the day. Personally I’d try carrying the quote on me in my pocket to pull out and read on and off during the day. Klein states that it almost doesn’t matter how you use the quotes, as long as you use them regularly.
It seems like a good plan. Who couldn’t use a little bit more joy in their life?
