With her five-element "prescription for joy," Ruth Williams, LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), seasoned psychotherapist, gives us immediately accessible tools and techniques to de-stress our over-committed, over-stretched, and overwhelming lives. She shares illustrations from her own fun, but dysfunctional childhood and beyond. As a self-proclaimed joy-seeker and joy-keeper since early childhood, Ruth has successfully carried these skills into her own marriage, motherhood, and career. She's passionate about helping us all learn the secrets to finding and keeping more joy in our lives, thereby increasing the "joy factor," enabling us to push through the challenges of everyday life with reduced stress and less experience of dis-ease.
