A Promising National Bestseller

I find Joys' book "Choosing Light-Heartedness" to be very impressive! For years we've read many wonderful books about codependence and dysfunctional families, but never before has a psychotherapist written a book from his or her own professional experience that teaches clear, simple steps of an emotional healing journey that anyone can undertake, no matter what their history or their educational background! Kari Joys writes with the kindness and heart-felt compassion of someone who has overcome the emotional pain in her own life and now sincerely wants to help others who also want to heal. She also demonstrates true lightheartedness through her writing that is clearly from someone who has succeeded in her own emotional healing journey. I believe this book could easily be a national bestseller! When it does I believe it will help millions of people who are struggling with anxiety, depression and poor self esteem to actually find the guidance they need to overcome their issues and create new and better lives for themselves!

Easy to follow pathway to a "lighter you"

"Choosing Light-Heartedness" is an excellent book for anyone wanting to grow within. The way it is written is very easy to follow and is in common everyday language. I enjoyed how Kari added experiences to the chapters which gave an added connection. The assignments are well laid out and easy to follow. I especially like how the chapters are broken down; it makes it easy to find a specific issue that you made need to work on again. I recommed this book to everyone. The assignment are work, but worth the effort. In the end you will find a "lighter you".

Gift from the heart

"Choosing Light Heartedness" has been such a gift. The stories gave courage and inspiration, and the wisdom Kari shared gave me guidance. By doing the exercises I was taken to a place deep inside that really wanted to be heard. The awareness I have gained enables me to be in touch with my feelings and move through life with more confidence and joy. Thank you Kari, your style of writing made me feel though you were by my side offering support as I went through each chapter. Best of all I now have the tools to assist me with choosing light heartedness every moment. :)

An Amazing Journey

I felt safer and safer as I read knowing that a friend was beside me all the way. I was able to look at the truth and learn the tools to help myself. Yeah!!! I feel fortunate to have this book in my library ready to hand in to my buddies as they go thru the challenges of life. I shall never be without a handout copy.
