Welcome to our summer bonus episodes. As promised, we're revisiting Martha Beck's book "The Joy Diet: 10 Daily Practices for a Happier Life" by sociologist and life coach Martha Beck. I hope you'll enjoy these episodes as you sail through summer 2025!
Treats! Everyone loves treats... and they can be a crucial tool in supporting you in the joy diet. They can help offset the inner challenge of taking a risk, and they can reinforce good habits.
I hope you enjoy this meander as I share some of the things that I think of as "treats." It's more than chocolate and pizza, I can assure you! I hope you'll take some time to consider what a treat means to you. Beck calls treats things that make you smile, so what's your list? Feel free to share your thoughts with me at meanderingswithtrudy@gmail.com.
