The force of joy knows no boundaries. It will defeat stress, discouragement, fear, intimidation, and emotional wounds. Enemies have no defense against the victorious power of joy. The emotional expression revealed in God's word will cause rejoicing which leads to the release of joy and the dispelling of discouragement. Through joy in the Lord, discouragement becomes hope, weakness becomes strength, and lack becomes abundance. Sickness takes a back seat and health gets in the driver's seat. Fear flees and faith soars, stress dissipates and peace dominates. There isn't a problem big enough that joy springing forth from the heart can't impact for good. Leave behind the traditional way of achieving victory and success through self-effort, man-made strivings, and weighty formulas. Learn the power of rejoicing and watch the hand of God's favor and provision rush into your future in supernatural ways through Fred Benzel's inspirational and encouraging account, The Force of Joy.

Simply said, My Wheel of Joy speaks about joy. Five years ago, author Pedja Sukovic connected with joy as his spiritual essence. He made it his personal mission statement to immerse himself in as much joy as possible to stay connected to that essence. He created a toolcalled My Wheel of Joyto facilitate his mission. He used the tool daily, and became intentional and disciplined about cultivating his joy. My Wheel of Joy became his meditation, his way of life. During those years of living his life following his joy, Sukovic gained many inspired thoughts, or, as he calls them, knowings about joy. In My Wheel of Joy, he shares those knowings. He presents a creative expression about living in joy, being fully alive, feeling good, and reaching ones full human potential through joy.

Like all textbooks, it was written to help you increase your knowledge; unlike all too many textbooks that you have bought, it will be fun to read. A preface usually tells of the author's reasons for writing the book and the author's goals for the reader, followed by a swarm of other important matters that must be attended to yet fit nowhere else in the book. I am fortunate in being able to include an insightful prepublication review that goes directly to my motivations and goals. (Look for it following this preface.) That leaves only those other important matters. In preparing the text, I consulted a number of books, chief of which included these: • S. Chandrasekhar, Ellipsoidal Figures of Equilibrium, Yale Uni versity Press, 1969. • J .M.A. Danby, Fundamentals of Celestial Mechanics, Macmil lan, 1962. Now available in a 2nd edition, 3rd printing, revised, corrected and enlarged, Willmann-Bell, 1992. • Y. Hagihara, Theories of Equilibrium Figures of a Rotating Ho mogeneous Fluid Mass, NASA, 1970. • R.A.

Joy at work—why settle for anything less? In Joy Works: Empowering Teams in the New Era of Work, Alex Liu delivers an engaging blueprint for ensuring people feel safe and inspired at work. Liu, the managing partner and chairman of Kearney, asks, "Why would we settle for anything less than joy at work?"

The author demonstrates how to create more joy for your people at work, in both virtual and in-person environments, as well as how to incorporate joyfulness even in periods of dramatically heightened stress. He calls on his years of conversations with leaders around the world, both as an advisor to executives and through his popular podcast, Joy@Work.

In the dialogues and research, readers will also find: An introduction to "ikigai," a Japanese concept meaning "reason for being"—a framework we can all use to find joy and meaning in our work An investigation into the link between social justice and joy, using conversations with leaders who have committed to making social progress a priority A new perspective on how the next generation will view joy at work, the Great Reflection, and the shifting balance of power in work cultures In-depth discussions about people, purpose, and praise: the three key elements in building a joyful work experience A call for more reflective leadership—a new approach to power leaders through uncertain and challenging times Joy Works is an essential handbook for anyone who wants to create more joy in their work — the leaders who want to shift corporate cultures, managers who are facing pressures to innovate, young people who are adamant that they can have a life and a career that's centered around joy and meaning, and anyone who thinks "joy at work" is a near-term possibility, not an oxymoron. This guide to the changing reality and opportunity of work belongs in the libraries of anyone interested in creating a more engaging and productive virtual, hybrid, or in-person workspace. Let's build more joy.

In the 1930s, Victor Weisskopf worked with leading European physicists such as Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, Paul Dirac and Wolfgang Pauli. His memoir recounts in simple language how quantum mechanics revolutionized physics and our understanding of matter. Weisskopf takes us to Los Alamos where he worked on the atom bomb during World War II after fleeing the Nazis, to CERN which he led in the early 1960s, and to MIT’s physics department where he taught until his retirement. Weisskopf also recounts his efforts towards nuclear disarmament and tells of his lifelong love of music and passion to understand and explain physics. “[Weisskopf’s] memoir provides a bright tile in the mosaic that our descendants will study in seeking to understand his scientific generation... A warm and frequently witty memoir by an extraordinarily gifted thinker and caring human being.” — Timothy Ferris, The New York Times “Weisskopf’s voice comes through clearly in the book ... a voice that has tried to infuse our century with the idealism and humanism that it so often has lacked... The Joy of Insight is much more than Weisskopf’s autobiography: It is a first-hand account of the intellectual and political forces that shaped the 20th century.” — Science “His account of [Los Alamos], where an isolated, tightly enclosed social world contrasted with the excitement and suspense of unprecedented research and invention, is the best yet written.” — The Atlantic “The Joy of Insight is an inspiring personal memoir by one of the most thoughtful scientists of our time... [A] stimulating book by and about a passionate physicist.” —Boston Globe “[Weisskopf] emerges in this autobiography as a man of gentle wisdom and quiet grace, confident in the idea that physics can provide not only 'the joy of insight,' but also a model of how life should be lived.” — The Sciences
