I recently sat down with Dr. Eric Johnson, who shared his incredible journey from the Navy to becoming an educator and author. After facing a personal challenge, he realized he needed to redefine what made him happy, moving beyond the roles of husband and father.

In today’s fast-paced world, many of us struggle to find true joy and fulfillment in our lives. Why is it that we often prioritize responsibilities over our own happiness? In this post, we’ll explore insights from Dr. Eric Johnson, who shares his journey from military service to academia and how he learned to embrace his joy. This exploration will not only inspire you but also provide actionable steps to redefine your understanding of joy.

His new book, "The Color of My Joy," invites men to explore what truly brings them joy, rather than just fulfilling societal expectations. It's a workbook designed to help you reflect on your identity and purpose.

Dr. Johnson emphasizes that each of us has a unique purpose to discover. Instead of focusing on what’s wrong in the world, we should ask ourselves: What does it mean to be a better version of ourselves?
