The Joy You Make: A Road Map to Finding Silver Linings

Steven Petrow in Conversation with Katera Kapoor

Nov 13, 2024


Join Spark Your Health for an engaging and uplifting discussion with award-winning journalist, Steven Petrow.

In 2017, Steven Petrow experienced one of the worst years of his life – through losing parents, separating from his partner, and learning that his sister had metastatic cancer. He began contemplating how one can find joy during incredibly difficult times.

He explains that joy is not only around us, but within us. In Steven Petrow’s latest book, The Joy You Make: Find the Silver Linings — Even on Your Darkest Days, he explores the many expressions of joy and shows readers how to find, cultivate, and share it. If you are seeking ways to find joys in every facet of life, not just the grandiose moments, this talk is for you.

The connection between joy and grief are inseparable. Joy is present everywhere; it takes practice, we need to shift our mindset and we need to understand better to experience it. Petrow offers practical, prescriptive advice to find the joy around us including:

  • How to Get Lost
  • Reclaiming Your Script
  • The Importance of Play
  • Embrace Aging
  • Making the Most of Anticipation

Joy is there if we only attune our eyes and our hearts to it.
