The Joy Switch: How Your Brain's Secret Circuit Affects Your Relationships-And How You Can Activate It - Softcover
Synopsis
Life is hard when you’re not yourself.
Why do we sometimes feel more connected in our relationships than at other times? Perhaps you sometimes find it easy and exciting to spend time with your loved ones—but sometimes, especially when things don’t go according to plan, you feel incapable of connecting in conversations. You then feel distant from those you love most. What if the answer to remaining connected in relationships has been right under your nose—or, rather, right inside your head all along?
Discover the simple switch in your brain that activates—or deactivates—what you most need for relational connectivity: joy. In The Joy Switch, learn how the simple flip of this brain switch either enables you to remain present for those around you or causes you to become overwhelmed—and ultimately inhibited from being your best self—when problems arise. You’ll learn how to maximize your relational brain, how to recognize when your brain’s joy switch is flipped, and how to take steps to restore your relational sweet-spot. This book will help you love others and remain fully connected with yourself while being the best version of who you were made to be.

From the Back Cover
WHAT SETS YOU OFF?
THE SPOUSE WHO PUSHES YOUR BUTTONS. THE CHILDREN WHO WON’T LISTEN. ANNOYING COWORKERS. REJECTION. TRAFFIC HASSLES.
All these can set you off. And, just like that, a good day becomes a bad day.
Under the right conditions, all of us can be pushed too far. The trick is knowing how to “get back” to healthy emotions—to that sweet spot. What’s the secret? It’s as easy as flipping a switch.
Brain science has discovered that there is a “switch” inside your brain that activates joy—the secret of healthy emotions. When joy is lacking, when the switch is off, we can’t be our best self. We become angry, overwhelmed, sad. The good news is we don’t have to stay that way. The Joy Switch will help you:
- RECOGNIZE WHEN YOU’RE LOSING JOY
- IDENTIFY YOUR PARTICULAR “TRIGGERS”
- LEARN HOW TO STAY IN JOY!
Packed with illustrations, expert insight, and helpful self-assessments, The Joy Switch will help you thrive amid life’s everyday challenges.
