Product Description

From the Publisher
Book Description
"Joy is everywhere around us. Suzanne Falter-Barns teaches each of us how to reach out and grab some... I love this book!" -- Laurie Beth Jones, author of Jesus CEO, The Path, and Grow Something Besides Old

If you are a writer who's not writing, an entrepreneur who keeps stalling with the big idea, or anyone who just can't get on with the work of their dreams, this is the book for you. In fresh, funny language amply laced with wisdom, How Much Joy Can You Stand? demystifies the creative process and gives you the inspirational kick in the pants you've been waiting for.

Inside is all the reassurance and encouragement you need to get going and keep going. Stories, anecdotes, and the author's own hard-won wisdom tell the simple truth about creating your dream -- that it's not as hard as you think, and you do, indeed, know exactly what you need to know.

Find out where to find inspiration, how to handle rejection, whether talent really matters, and how to stick with your work even in the face of couch potato attacks and complete creative meltdown. Hands-on exercises follow each short, pungent chapter to put you back on track towards achieving your goals.

Sit down with How Much Joy Can You Stand? You will be moved to action. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Power coaching whenever you need it, 24 April 1999
By A Customer
I have read many "self-help" books over the years (e.g., Julia Cameron's "The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity and "The Vein of Gold: A Journey to Your Creative Heart") which have inspired me and enriched my approach to life and tapping into my passions--what brings me joy.

But "How Much Joy..." is different.

I loved reading this book! I was quickly drawn in by Ms. Falter-Barns' engaging, humorous, and REAL perspective. And yet, she is able to deal with a diverse range of practical, psychological, emotional and other issues that keep us from truly knowing and doing something about our passions in life! The end-of-chapter exercises are provocative, fun and extremely fruitful.

Since reading this book, my approach to life has changed dramatically. I have been joy-stepping ever since--ideas flowing as never before, and most importantly, I am DOING despite all my busy life circumstances. I have found ways to reach out and problem-solve as never before despite the ever-present "lack of time". "How much Joy..." has also inspired me to read other books which have also been extremely helpful such as "The Everyday Work of Art: Awakening the Extraordinary in Your Daily Life" by Eric Booth.

"How Much Joy..." is a great investment in enriching your life and getting out of that everyday treadmill. Suzanne Falter-Barns is a power coach with depth and broadness of range that is not only inspiring but also down-to-earth.

5.0 out of 5 stars No excuses., 14 Aug 1999
By A Customer
Whatever it is that is keeping you from following your dreams or filling your life with joy will be kicked out from under you in this wonderful motivational book. The author forces you to see how we put up our own roadblocks to happiness and we are the only ones that can remove them. Gently yet firmly, "How Much Joy Can You Stand?" will accept no excuses for not doing whatever it is you dream about. Lots of exercises to propel you toward a more joyful life. The title alone made be bust into a smile.
