Steven Petrow Talks Finding Joy in Grief and His Book: The Joy You Make


Listen Later

In 2017, Award-winning Washington Post columnist, Steven Petrow experienced one of the worst years of his life. He lost both his parents, separated from his husband, and learned that his sister had meta-static cancer.  He began to question: how can one find joy during incredibly difficult times?  He discovered that joy is not only around us, but within us. 


He examines this and so much more in his book THE JOY YOU MAKE: Find the Silver Linings--Even on Your Darkest Days, released this September.  He explores the many expressions of joy and shows readers how to find, cultivate, and share it. Combining his personal experiences with research and expert interviews, Petrow asks (and answers) the question: “What if there was a way to find the joy in everything?”


In today’s episode, we discuss how the connection between joy and grief are inseparable, and Steven offers  practical, prescriptive advice to find the joy around us. We think this is a perfect episode and book for any season of life, but especially the upcoming holiday season – and hope you enjoy the episode as much as we did!
