Description

Successful or not. Rich or poor. People use plenty of terms to determine and define happiness—but is it really joy they're seeking?

Author Toks Adebiyi shares examples from his time in both Nigeria and the United Kingdom in the inspirational memoir Joyful. Like many others, Toks got caught up in the push for wealth and popularity and dreamed of becoming the next Richard Branson or Robert Kiyosaki. But when events in his life brought him back down to earth, he began to redefine what joy meant to him.

Here, Toks shares what he found, laying out a path for others to follow in advice-filled chapters such as "Loving Yourself" and "Mind Your Environment." All throughout, he includes action points to aid others in their own pursuit of joy.

Joyful is specifically targeted at young readers and families. This lighthearted, easy-to-read guide will help you find what matters most in your life—and what you really need to find inner peace.

"This is quite a quick read and one that I enjoyed. Had me smiling in a few parts, mainly because I was born and raised in London (Bermondsey). I rarely write what a book is about for fear of spoiling for others, but am pleased to have been given the opportunity to read this book." —Goodreads review by Alan

"I won this little book in a Goodreads giveaway, and received it in the mail yesterday. I started flipping through it, and something caught my eye so I read a couple of paragraphs. Before I even realized what had happened, I had completed the entire book! What struck me the most about it is the utter sincerity that is so apparent in the author's voice.....I instantly liked, trusted, and valued the opinion of this man. This is a super-quick read (and I'm a slow reader) that I recommend to anyone who is interested in improving the quality of their life and side-stepping the rat race in which so many of us find ourselves trapped." —Goodreads review by Jill Miller

"Set in a fast moving world of lust for material things to gain status and acceptance. Joyful is the product of a still mind that cuts through the noise of an artificial social ladder and material fortune to show a meaningful and purposeful life is equally rewarding when you do the right things the right way for everlasting peace and fulfillment. A message that deeply needs to be promoted to transform individual interactions and communities at large!!" —Kachi Loewz Amazon.com review

"A very honest and sincere book by Toks Adebiyi which certainly made me put my thinking cap on.
