In a world that glorifies productivity, chronic stress has become the norm, draining our energy, health, and joy. But joy is not something you wait for-it is an inner state you cultivate through the way you care for yourself. Physical therapist Dr. Samreen Mongillo has seen firsthand how deeply the mind and body are connected. The way you think, speak to yourself, and care for your physical health directly shapes your ability to experience joy. The Path to Joy blends science with practical tools to help you reduce stress, improve your health, and reconnect with a deeper sense of joy. At its core is a powerful truth: when you practice self-compassion, your health improves and so does your capacity for joy. With a clear framework and a thirty-day plan, this book guides you toward greater health, happiness, and well-being, so you can experience more joy in your life, one intentional choice at a time. "Samreen's book is exactly what we need right now. In a fast-paced world, it's a beautiful reminder for all of us to slow down and find joy in the small moments. Plus, her practical tips make it so easy to reconnect with what truly matters." - Allistair McCaw, Bestselling Author and Performance Coach "Samreen's message and insights on the power of self-compassion and joy are the antidote of these times. The Path to Joy beautifully maps out how to source this state from within, which is the greatest gift you can give to yourself and others." - Kelly Austin, Spiritual Psychology Guide
