About this listen

A bestselling author helps listeners find radical joy in a world full of constant comparison by accepting that life is a wild ride and happiness fluctuates with our circumstances.

Happiness is considered a destination, but the finish line is constantly moving—when we get married, find that dream job, move away from home, have a baby, build a dream house, etc. We are promised that a happy life is tied to these milestones.

But what if society has it wrong? What if happiness isn't the goal at all?

With her trademark candor and hilarious storytelling, MK paints a picture of a different life—one bursting with a force that is far more sustainable and vibrant: joy.

Crazy Joy will help listeners:

1. Identify and reject ridiculous expectations that society has placed on their lives.

2. Liberate their hearts from the comparison prison and feel content in their current circumstances.

3. View themselves, inside and out, as the masterpiece creations they are.

4. Find joy (and dare we say, laughter!) in the middle of life's biggest messes.

Witty and refreshingly honest, MK invites her listeners to embark on a counter-cultural journey toward a life filled to the brim with contentment, humor, and most importantly, Crazy Joy.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I listened to many chapters with my six year old daughter and it sparked profound conversation between us about joy, being joyful, seeking joy, and handling life. It’s a new, unique perspective and approach to life filled with giggles and stories that are so easy to relate to. Crazy Joy is added to my must listen to yearly list. Highly recommend.

ITS A LOVEEEEE

While the joy advice is subtle and not earth shattering, the author presents her stories and makes her points with loving humor. It's like laughing and chatting with a friend. I've listened to the audiobook 4 times already.

I enjoyed the authors voice more than anything. I enjoyed what she was trying to convey. But there was a lot of bias and religion.

Great for those who are religious

This was a great book! I was disappointed when I finished it because I wanted it to go on and on and on! I think I may have also found my joy in the book and also while thinking about the lessons learned from MK’s stories. Thank you for being you and sharing so much.
