Critics Review
Full of heart and truth. This book is an essential companion to remind you that you are not alone – Jenny Lawson, New York Times bestselling author of FURIOUSLY HAPPY
Reading Microjoys is such a big joy. Moving, inspiring, and encouraging, this is the book you read when you are grieving or celebrating or reflecting or curious or wanting more or coming back to yourself. Read it with a full or a heavy heart, a busy schedule or a lazy day, a clear or uncertain future. There is never a bad time to read these words. You’ll get exactly what you need. What a gift – Courtney Carver, author of SOULFUL SIMPLICITY and founder of Be More With Less
MICROJOYS is a deep inhalation - a nudge to slowly open your eyes and take in all the gifts your life shows you daily, if only you’d look. What a wonderful, soulful reaffirmation that there is still beauty in this world, despite it all! – Karen Walrond, author of THE LIGHTMAKER’S MANIFESTO and THE BEAUTY OF DIFFERENT
Microjoys! I have a name for them now, thanks to Cyndie Spiegel, and a renewed commitment to seek them out - those delights, mercies, and inexplicably magic moments, big or small, that are always right there, if we only open up and pay attention. Spiegel writes that freudenfreude, the opposite of schadenfreude, is the joy we feel for others’ joy. I’m feeling freudenfreude in advance, thinking about the readers who will discover this book, knowing the joy they’ll find in these pages. I’m so happy for them. For us – Maggie Smith, author of KEEP MOVING and YOU COULD MAKE THIS PLACE BEAUTIFUL
