Bestselling author and creator of Joy School Lisa McCourt outlines her unique formula for sustainable happiness, offering a year's worth of activities, prompts, and techniques that raise your “joy setpoint” so you can cultivate authentic, lasting peace and fulfillment in your daily life.
Unprecedented global events have left many of us feeling depleted, depressed, isolated, and disconnected from many of the things that made us happy. Lisa McCourt, host of the Do Joy! podcast and founder of Joy School, helps people raise their joy setpoints regardless of what is happening around them.
Learning about joy is one thing, but it’s the doing that actually shifts your energy. McCourt offers a unique approach to joy and emotional wellness, outlining a year-long adventure in happiness that can be started on any day of the year. Joy is not an elusive fantasy to be chased; it is simply a skill to be learned, practiced, and mastered. McCourt takes readers, month by month, through the life-altering principles of vibration elevation that she has taught for 20 years through her Joy School.
Each of the 12 “keys” to experiencing sustainable, authentic joy builds sequentially upon the previous one to create a progressive shifting of the reader's inner landscape to one of joy and ease. As the inner landscape transforms, transformation of the external reality inevitably follows. McCourt offers weekly “homeplay” for the reader to take into their daily experience which, when followed, upgrades their thought patterns and default reactions into beneficial new habits of thought and behavior.
Upon completion of the final key, the reader is invited along the “spiral,” cycling through the keys again from their newly elevated joy setpoint. Our journey toward ever greater realms of joy and personal freedom is never concluded; we can spiral through the steps, year after year, always recalibrating our lives to ever more fulfilling levels.
“Lisa McCourt’s newest instruction manual for living a life of joy is simply incredible. It is so rich with meaningful content and actionable steps!

I know it was a labor of love that must have cost her on many levels, and I’m so grateful for her dedication to elevating love and joy in the world!”
“Happy people don’t just happen. They often struggle, suffer, and experience loss and defeat before finding authentic joy. With the right guidance and direction, however, they find their way out of the darkness and despair and back into the light. Then they can become a living, loving light for others who have lost their way. For millions of people across the world, Lisa McCourt is that light, and this book is that way.

If you trust her, your life will be transformed, and how you see and interact with the world, yourself, and the people around you will be changed forever.”
The wisdom in Free Your Joy reached the part of me that was ready for the next adventure in my ongoing journey toward overall wellness. Even with all the pieces of my life in place just the way I’d carefully arranged them, my ability to recognize the joy in my everyday experiences was limited. With Lisa’s guidance, I have all the tools I need to elevate my “Joy Setpoint,” and with just a few weeks practice, I’ve already started noticing that I’m smiling more often and that I’m more accepting of the stuff I’d rather avoid. At the same time, my appreciation for small everyday experiences has grown. Free Your Joy has offered me a fresh perspective from which to view my life and the people in it. Thank you, Lisa, for being the teacher who appeared when this student was ready to experience increasing levels of joy.
Free Your Joy has a clear message; Joy is our natural state. This book is like a complete workshop that clearly explains how to remove all the clouds that stand between you and the sun of your natural state. However, it isn’t just philosophy, the book is filled from beginning to end with exercises because, as Lisa puts it, learning Joy is a path of doing. What stands out the most is the kindness on each page, as the author is so genuine and understanding as a guide. It would be impossible not to change your energy and get closer to who you truly are after reading this.
“Wildly applicable, soul-nourishing guidance for flooding your precious life with joy!”

“Thank goodness there is actually a manual for how to live a joyful life! There was a time in my life when I did not think it was possible to be joyful. I thought I was relegated to feeling blue all the time; in fact, I did not know I was low-key unhappy until I started feeling real joy. It was such a relief to realize this was something that I could change, and do, and learn. Lisa McCourt has given us the keys to the kingdom of joy. Hallelujah!”
“Lisa hands you the keys to happiness here. Of course, it is always up to you to use them and unlock the doors. Life gives us challenges, and often simple and beautiful gifts. This book is a wonderful gift.”
“Lisa exudes Joy like it’s nobody’s business. She teaches by example that Joy is actually everybody’s business, and we will heal ourselves by opening up to it in a greater way. Lisa is a master of Joy. In the same way George Washington Carver talked to the plants, Lisa has courted Joy to learn its secrets and she shares them beautifully in this book and by her living.”
“Lisa carries the archetypal spirit of the mother, who is sincere in her quest to love everyone she meets into the fullness of their being. And she does this in the most innocent and tender of ways. Her teachings are always from the heart. Readers starved of affection and warmth from their own species will no longer be so when they read this book and allow themselves to receive Lisa’s love.”
“As a collective, we have a great need for writings like Free Your Joy. Lisa McCourt shares, through her authentic gift with words, how to align with inner happiness. Lisa’s energetic vibrancy of joy comes through each page, quickly becoming my morning coffee routine. It felt as though Lisa was right beside me with her inspiring guidance throughout. The monthly keys are brilliant, with all the interaction, direction, and accountability essentials I appreciate in a book. Free Your Joy is an eye-opening read and one you will want to recommend to everyone. Thank you, Lisa, for sharing your beautiful, magical self with each of us.”
“From time to time in her book Free Your Joy, Lisa will introduce an essential bit of wisdom with the words, “And to you, my darling reader . . .” and every time I read them, I felt as if she were placing a perceptive hand on my shoulder and gently asking me to pay attention. In those synchronistic moments I received a wisdom offering that felt timely and needed. I know that as you read her brilliance, you will receive the perfect gifts for your heart as well.”
“Having worked closely with Lisa for nearly two years now, I can attest that her methods are solid, her joy practices are extremely effective, and she has made them as accessible in this book as any teacher ever could. She’s a genuinely joyful being with a genuine desire to guide you to become one as well. I’ve watched her grow her intuitive gifts, which are immense, and which have made her group facilitation even more powerful than it already was. It is a privilege to teach with her and walk this path with her. If you follow the steps she’s laid out for you here, there is a very good chance you’ll transform your life.”
“Free Your Joy is a truly wonderful roadmap for bringing your own innate joy to the surface. It is full of practical tools and insights that help you cultivate the experience and expression of the joy of life that sometimes mysteriously eludes us. And Lisa is the perfect facilitator to bring this material to us. Having owned a bookstore for many years I interacted with many teachers and writers. Few of them embodied their message as Lisa does. When it comes to her, I would say that joy is her native language. It’s who she is, and her passion is to help others find their joy.”
“Warning! This book might make you late to dinner. All I want to do is sit and read more right this moment. This is clearly a magical book gifted to us from an enlightened soul. Enjoy!”
