Do you spend an inordinate amount of time pursuing joy? Are you desperate to grab hold of it and retain the feeling forever?

Manifesting Joy: Releasing Fear and Seeking a Higher Purpose informs us that joy is a quality and a state of being that can feel hopelessly elusive—one that undulates as the arc of our lives unfolds. The author assures us that life with true joy is achievable!

As an experienced healthcare consultant and wellness writer, Dan Mariani’s theory is that joy is a function of inner-connectedness combined with a deep understanding of the unique levers that create well-being for each of us. He examines the multi-dimensional nature of joy and how it affects the human condition.

Through his system of self-identification, individuals place themselves on a scale from “misery” to “transcendent joy.” He then provides guidance on how to ascend joy’s ladder and realize sustainable happiness. Gratefulness, unleashing unreasonable fears, and learning to forgive can accelerate the process.

Are you ready to amplify joy by living a more purposeful life?

Manifesting Joy is the third book in a series of wellness books. The first book, Bicycling With A Purpose, was dedicated to helping readers find balance and reduce stress while on a journey of self-discovery. Choices: The Art of Thriving in a Sniper World, the second book, helped readers unravel the difficulty in making winning decisions in an increasingly more complex and adversarial society. The author recommends if you like this book or desire to read them in order, to refer to these two other insightful books.

Dan Mariani is a native New Yorker born near the Westchester Square area of the Bronx. I studied English at the University of Albany in New York where I focused on a broad liberal arts education. Later I went back to school and earned a MBA from Adelphi University.

My many adventures include a short stint in the Air Force as a navigator trainee, a cross-country trip from Dallas to Boulder that ended with the author sleeping in a public park nearly getting frost-bite, spelunking in freezing temperatures in an underground cave during the worst of winter, hiking the White Mountains of New Hampshire and as a tour guide at the NY Aquarium where I learned about whales and was entranced by Belugas while educating the public on the vanishing wetlands and their threat to fisheries. I also spent 28 years in various healthcare roles both clinical and in the non-clinical segments.... all experiences enriching this author's pen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thoughtful and Practical Advice
Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2024
Mariani’s latest work, in my opinion his best yet, taught me that in our search for happiness, we forget that there are practical steps to finding joy and it doesn’t have to be an elusive, impossible quest. My favorite excerpt, which I included as a photo attachment in my review, is the question “are you playing out someone else’s vision of who you should be?” It is such a vital question and one that I wish people would ask themselves sooner in life. Mariani’s advice that we engage in behavior that is authentic to us is crucial to laying out the path that leads to joy. This is critical reading for anyone that is looking to find happiness in a realistic and attainable way.

M.E. Mattel Author, All the President's Minions, and What was I thinking?
5.0 out of 5 stars A thoughtful, informative treat...
Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2024
Author Dan Mariani has done it again – his third book in his self-help series is a thoughtful and informative treat. His self-help series started with Bicycling with A Purpose: Shift Gears to Lower Stress, then CHOICES: THE ART OF THRIVING IN A SNIPER WORLD, and now, MANIFESTING JOY: RELEASING FEAR AND SEEKING A HIGHER PURPOSE. He uses many personal experiences to explain what he calls the “Pyramid of Joy”. The bottom of the pyramid is WILDERNESS, or misery, which many people spend a lot of time in. The top of the pyramid is TRANSENDENT, or breakthrough/sublime/rapture, which many of us never get to. And there are various levels between the two. Mr. Mariani gives practical insights on how one might work towards the top of the pyramid, based on his own experiences.

I highly recommend this wonderfully written book that will inspire you to attempt your own climb towards the top of the Pyramid of Joy.
