About this title

From Publishers Weekly

Author of Super Marital Sex and Super Immunity , psychiatrist Pearsall here emphasizes the rewards of "joyology," describing attitudes that can help one slough off depression and ennui. There is a specific "Joy message" in individual chapters that address sufferers of stress, lack of love, illness, even losses caused by divorce or death. A section on AIDS includes advice on strengthening the body's immune system. Each subject is accompanied by quizzes that are intended to help readers recognize their individual physical and spiritual needs. Pearsall is, as ever, cloyingly upbeat. Literary Guild and Doubleday Book Club alternates.

From Library Journal

While traditional psychology and psychiatry focus on mental illnesses and maladjusted personalities, Pearsall focuses on wellness and on people in love with life. He believes that most of us are literally addictedboth psychologically and physico-chemicallyto a cycle of stress and depression. Fortunately we can reprogram ourselves to be addicted to joy, and Pearsall offers the means to do so. Division of the text into small sections makes for easy reading and comprehension, and numerous tests help readers determine their own degree of joy. An encouraging book that should be helpful.John Moryl, Yeshiva Univ. Lib., New York
