Biographies

Through Styles of Joy, embark on an extraordinary journey blending the excitement of zero-to-one-hundred fandom with thoughtful reflections on joy—yours, mine, and ours. After a post-divorce and post-pandemic “grief sabbatical” took her to seventeen Harry Styles concerts across five countries in ten months, the author reveals how throwing out the rulebook can lead to profound personal joy. This narrative nonfiction series of heartwarming short stories is equal parts anthropological observations, unlikely fangirl manifesto, and reflection on life after loss.

Structured into four colorful yet thought-provoking parts, Styles of Joy prompts listeners to examine joy in their own lives while enjoying tales from the author’s own adventures.

Cultivate – What brings you joy? Discover how to pay attention and learn to transform everyday moments into celebrations.

Adopt – Are you adopting others’ joy as your own? Explore how looking for “joy in the wild” can enrich your own life.

Protect – Are you protecting your joy and others’? Learn to maintain a positive mindset and support the well-being of yourself and those around you.

Spread – Are you spreading joy? Be inspired by stories of any individual’s power to change the world with simple kindness. Discover ways to multiply joy in your community and beyond, creating a ripple effect that fosters a more connected, vibrant world.

Styles of Joy is a dynamic blend of personal anecdotes and practical wisdom, guiding you toward more joyful living.
