The Theory and Practice of Joy

A translation of life, by Rory Link

Cover of The Theory and Practice of Joy: a red and green glyph painting

$23.95

The Theory and Practice of Joy is a playful, serious and encouraging exploration of bringing more enJOYment into our lives. Rory Link’s words and images elevate the process of self-discovery beyond the expected, balancing gentle written advice with transporting and energetic combinations of colors, glypholalia and shamanic metaphor, as a method that is at once calming, exciting and encouraging.

Open it and read random portions whenever you need a lift or a break from your daily experience, or sit down and read it cover to cover.
