The Discovery of Joy

Lehi taught that joy is the purpose of life and the goal of immortality. Joseph Smith called happiness “the object and design of our existence.” Yet how many of us actively pursue joy in our day-to-day living? How many even understand the word well enough to know what to seek? In this thoroughly updated and redesigned edition of the Bookcraft classic, national best-selling author Richard M. Eyre probes the meaning of joy—studying both its secular and gospel ramifications. This exuberant volume is poetic in style and will open up new ways of thinking about what joy is and what it can be. This book is a resource and a guide to anyone who wishes to undertake the quest for the highest attainment of joy.
