The Happy Grownup

Steven Petrow on The Joy You Make

Episode Notes

Author Steven Petrow isn’t afraid of aging. In fact, he’s embracing it. Well, most of it. What he rejects is constant whining about aches and pains, conversations mired in “the good ol’ days,” eating dinner at 4pm, and other self-defeating behavior that he warns against in his very funny and very relevant best-selling book, Stupid Things I Won’t Do When I Get Old. Instead, Petrow has opted to focus on what has inspired the title of his newest book, The Joy You Make. This award-winning writer believes that joy is a choice, but one not related to what you buy or whatever you desire currently beyond your grasp. Joy resides within you, and your mission is to discover how to release it, revel in it and share it. Listen to this illuminating podcast as Petrow tips you off on just how it’s done
