. . . in our innate, ever-evolving capacity to create peace and bliss for ourselves and others. I believe we’re here to use whatever superpowers we’ve been given for the upliftment, betterment, and delight of all.
I believe humankind is on the brink of an evolution of consciousness that’s going to blow our collective mind.
More than anything, I just want to be an effective member of the team that’s elevating the level of love and joy in the world. My positions on the team have included writing (both in my own name, and as a ghostwriter for other transformation leaders), teaching the art of authentic joy through my online Joy School, and collaborating on countless consciousness-expansion programs with aligned teachers in my field.
Lisa McCourt is the author of Free Your Joy: The 12 Keys to Sustainable Happiness, as well as dozens of other books about love and joy that have together sold over 9 million copies.
She's also host of the popular Do Joy! podcast and Founder of Joy School, where she's taught the secrets of joy for over two decades to thousands of learners.
Incorporating the techniques Lisa has gathered from studying with and writing for many of the biggest names in the transformation world, her trainings provide the most effective, streamlined processes available for accessing and maintaining consistent, authentic joy and inner peace—processes backed by hundreds of scientific studies demonstrating substantial increases in health, cognitive function, self-esteem, stress-reduction, and emotional competence.
Lisa's joyful passion for the power of words has propelled a diverse publishing career studded with industry awards, starred reviews, international honors, and mega-sales.
If you have kids, you might have read them I Love You Stinky Face, her longstanding bestseller that Publishers Weekly called a “modern classic,” heralded for helping parents raise unconditionally loved humans who feel secure and cherished exactly as they are. Under her own name, Lisa has penned over forty books for adults and children in addition to collaborating with industry leaders such as Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, James Van Praagh, and Sunny Dawn Johnston.
In addition to having sold over 9 million copies, her books have earned over 9,000 glowing Amazon reviews. Published by Hay House, Scholastic, HarperCollins, Penguin Random House, McGraw Hill, Hierophant, HCI/Simon & Schuster, and others, her books have won publishing awards, been featured on Lifetime TV, CNN, and PBS, garnered praise from over 200 publication reviewers, and been translated into 11 languages.
On the secret side of Lisa's publishing path, she's been the silent ghostwriter for many prominent thought-leaders, from New York Times bestselling authors to Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated Hollywood stars. Her clients have appeared on Oprah, Good Morning America, Saturday Night Live, The Dr. Oz Show, ABC’s 20/20, The View, The TODAY Show, Dr. Phil, The Doctors, and The Nancy Grace Show.
When she's not teaching through her online Joy School or through one of her many collaborative projects, Lisa enjoys time in nature with her darling husband and two precious daughters, singing in Michael Beckwith’s Agape Center Global Choir, and serving her community as President of her local PFLAG chapter. She's always on the lookout for new opportunities to contribute to the elevation of love and joy for all humans.
