You don't need to be Jewish to enjoy the spiritual lessons of Finding Joy. In an age of cynicism, suspicion, and greed, Schwartz reminds us how to seek the joy of being alive.


Rabbi Zalman M. Schachter-Shalomi
A direct and easy guide to a Jewish spirituality that doesn't make it 'a big deal.'


From Booklist
Lessons on keeping an open heart from the author of Many Roads, One Journey. If, as the author says, "Joy comes from spontaneity and going where the spirit leads us," then why do readers need the other 100 commandments set down here? Perhaps because they will find solace in these calm-inducing, self-esteem-boosting suggestions and learn from the anecdotes of how others have rallied from their follies. Denise Perry Donavin


Midwest Book Review
Finding Joy: A Practical Spiritual Guide To Happiness shows how anyone can shape a step-by-step method for thinking and living in the Jewish mystical tradition of kabbalah which is centered on the belief that if our focus is spiritual, then true appreciation of our lives and true joy are possible. Through personal stories, an easy-to-understand explanation of kabbalah, and daily practical exercises, Finding Joy introduces the ancient insights of the Jewish mystics and offers practical week-by-week exercises for the soul which bring them into our daily routines. Finding Joy will introduce the non-Jew and the uninformed Jew into a rich and rewarding spiritual tradition, a core belief system within contemporary Judaism that stretches back through centuries of tradition.
