Dr. Platt has had vivid moments of joy; and in reading what other authors have written of similar experiences he concludes joy is potentially available to all. The Nature of Joy is richly enhanced with excerpts from writers including Emily Dickinson, E. B. White, Henry D. Thoreau, Mark Twain, Marcel Proust, C. S. Lewis, Annie Dillard, Samuel Johnson and others. Building upon this literature, as well as years of meditation and study of Eastern philosophy and religion, and other life experiences both personal and professional, Dr. Platt presents a compelling look into the nature of joy. His ideas are stimulating and inspiring—especially when he envisions how the process that leads to joy also leads us to a greater connectedness with our world.
