Synopsis

At 27, I bought a one-way ticket to India. I had no idea what I'd do when I landed, but in the past my most rewarding experiences came when I let intuition be my guide. So, I traveled without an itinerary and found myself searching for an elusive monkey temple, teaching Tibetan monks to sing, "You Are My Sunshine," and holding the hand of a dying man at the Mother Theresa Homes for the Destitute and Dying. Throughout, I followed an inner sense of joy. I could not be sure it would lead me to the happy life I dreamt of, but it was the only choice I had.

Review:

"I could not put the book down. I kept telling myself, 'Just one more chapter.... just one more chapter...' Each chapter was full of moving tales, all with a meaningful message. The details are exquisite, so much so that I felt I was right there with him during his travels through India. Follow the Joy is a well told yarn, one with a important message about true happiness." - Alisa Bowman, author"A sincere message of hope and compassion delivered against a backdrop of extreme poverty." - Kirkus Reviews"I cannot fault this book. It is, quite simply, an excellent example of a memoir." - Awesome Indies Reviews

"Through Jason's experiences, I came away with a better understanding of what is really involved in a search for inner-peace" - Pete Barber, Author "A great memoir of finding yourself and your spirituality" - Bauman Book Reviews
