Perhaps you sometimes find it easy and exciting to spend time with your loved ones--but sometimes, especially when things don't go according to plan, you feel incapable of connecting in conversations. You then feel distant from those you love most. What if the answer to remaining connected in relationships has been right under your nose--or, rather, right inside your head all along?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiscover the simple switch in your brain that activates--or deactivates--what you most need for relational connectivity: joy. In \u003ci\u003eThe Joy Switch\u003c\/i\u003e, learn how the simple flip of this brain switch either enables you to remain present for those around you or causes you to become overwhelmed--and ultimately inhibited from being your best self--when problems arise.
