In "Joy on Demand," Chade-Meng Tan, the celebrated author and Google's own "Jolly Good Fellow," serves as a modern-day guide to unlocking perennial joy amidst the whirlwind of our daily lives. With an engaging blend of warmth and wisdom, Meng dismantles the myth that joy is a fleeting or elusive state, reserved for the lucky few or those who can devote hours to meditation. Instead, he introduces the revolutionary concept that joy can be a ready-to-hand experience, accessible with as little as fifteen seconds of focused attention. Through a tapestry of personal anecdotes, scientific research, and practical exercises, Meng illuminates the path to a joy that is not only sustainable but also a cornerstone for creativity, innovation, and success. Building on the foundation laid by his New York Times bestseller, "Search Inside Yourself," Meng delves deeper into how joy and meditation are not just complementary, but synergistically intertwined, capable of fostering a virtuous cycle of continuous growth and well-being. By presenting meditation in the light of "wise laziness," he crafts a program tailored for the hectic schedules of the modern world, making profound mastery over the mind an attainable goal for everyone. "Joy on Demand" is more than just a book; it's a manual for transforming everyday life into a journey of joy, revealing how the cultivation of inner peace, insight, and happiness can propel us to heights of achievement we never thought possible.
