Description: "Dr. Kerry shares her popular philosophy and tools in a comprehensive resource that moves readers from fear to peaceful confidence. [Her] insights, along with those of her inspiring 95- year-old mother Betty, are based upon a profound truth: the key to good longevity isn't the length of your life, it's the quality of your life. Books that advance lifespan and 'healthspan' don't address the whole picture. Dr. Kerry introduces readers to the ... concept of 'joyspan' based on the science of well-being, contentment, connection, meaning, growth, choice, and purpose"--
Review Quotes: "A profound and compassionate guide for cultivating a life of deep inner meaning. This book beautifully bridges the science of the brain with the wisdom of the heart--a journey that aligns perfectly with our current understanding of the neurobiology of compassion, connection, and overall well-being. JOYSPAN serves not just as a book, but as both a mirror for self-reflection and a practical map for healing, presence, and ultimately, the experience of joy."--Dr. James R. Doty, MD, adjunct professor of neurosurgery, Stanford University; founder and director, The Stanford Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE); and New York Times bestselling author of Into the Magic Shop
