When "Finding Joy" came out in 1994, I was in a dark place in my life. I was working at bookstore as the buyer for the Psychology/Spirituality section when this lovely little treasure first hit the shelves. This lovely book helped me find my way back to the joy that was buried in me and breathe life back into my soul.
Many happy and wise years later, I've given it as gifts and read it when I needed a mental tune-up. I even gave my daughter the middle name of "Joy" in recognition of this beautiful energy that is alive again in my heart!
Charlotte is a beautiful writer, her books practical, accessible, kind and inspiring. She compassionately acknowledges our human struggles, doesn't paint everything with rainbows. Her other books, "If the Buddha..." have also been wonderful treats to read and helped me live a happier life. Professionally, I went on to work in publishing at a spirituality/well-being press so I have seen A LOT from this genre. Charlotte is truly gifted.
Can't wait to read "If the Buddha had Kids" which is due out in the spring of 2012. Thank you, Charlotte.

This book, by the author of Many Roads, One Journey: Moving Beyond the 12 Steps, has been one I've frequently quoted to the Women for Sobriety group I lead and pushed (gently) on my recovery coaching clients. Not to say that it is only for women or only for people in recovery. Hell, we could all use an extra helping of joy. It's about body acceptance, looking out for others' positive intentions and taking small steps. My favorite part is entitled "If you feel like a baby, get a babysitter." A book full of kindness.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh, what a lovely book.Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 17 February 2009

I bought this book years ago at a drugstore, and lost the copy after years of reading and rereading it. Somehow, I had managed to find it again, despite having forgotten the author's last name for a while. Kasl is wise, human, and so comforting. You certainly can pick any page and get a dose of wisdom, or you can sit and read it cover to cover, and feel glad to have done so. She really can offer a very supportive and loving point of view. I am a therapist, and give away copies, especially useful in combatting low self-esteem. Love it!
