1.   How Much Joy Can You Stand : A Creative Guide to Facing Your Fears and Making Your Dreams Come True

    by Suzanne Falter-Barns (Hardcover - 2000)

    Avg. Customer Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars

 

   A zena moon Essential Book

From Amazon.com: For everyone who's having trouble starting that screenplay, business plan, doctoral thesis, or patchwork quilt, novelist and essayist Suzanne Falter-Barns provides inspiration. She shares insights on talent and whether it matters, why helpful things begin to happen when we follow our dreams, and new ways to think about the inevitable failures. This book's wisdom is liberally laced with humor for a kick-start to joyful living.
 

 

2.  The Joy Diet : 10 Daily Practices for a Happier Life

    by Betty Smith (Hardcover - 2003)

    Avg. Customer Rating: 4.4 out of 5 stars

 

    From Amazon.com: Beck, author of the bestselling Finding Your Own North Star and columnist for O Magazine, delivers another useful and sure-to-be-popular self-help guide. The Joy Diet, designed for the soul rather than the body, is composed of 10 steps that, once learned, are to be practiced on a daily basis to achieve greater fulfillment and a happier life. Beck strongly suggests becoming thoroughly familiar with each step, by practicing it for a week, before adding the next step. According to the author, the first step, spending 15 uninterrupted minutes a day doing nothing (meditating, engaging in repetitive physical activity, staring at some natural motion like flowing water), is the hardest to learn and the basis for all the other activities. She contends that a daily period of mindful silence provides a sanctuary that no one can ever take from you. The other nine steps include methods for dealing with emotional pain, identifying true desires, employing creativity to realize yearnings and taking appropriate risks. Beck advocates daily self-nourishment through play, humor and the enjoyment of at least three personalized treats. Written in a down-to-earth, positive tone, the author's thoughtfully designed exercises, inspirational anecdotes and gentle advice should fall on fertile ground.

 

 

3.  The All New, All Purpose Joy of Cooking

    by Marion Rombauer Becker (Hardcover - 1997)

    Avg. Customer Rating: 3.8 out of 5 stars

 

   From Amazon.com: Irma Rombauer collected recipes from friends for the first Joy of Cooking, and published it herself. For this sixth edition, The All New, All Purpose Joy of Cooking, Ethan Becker, grandson of Irma and son of Marion Rombauer Becker, worked with Maria Guarnaschelli, senior editor and vice president at Scribner's. Together, they called on top food professionals to produce a Joy that reflects the way we eat today. Five new chapters satisfy today's love of pasta, pizza, noodles, burritos, grains, and beans, including soy. The roughly 3,000 recipes, most revised from earlier editions, give the food processor and microwave their due. Interest in ethnic flavors, grazing, leaner meats, more fish, and less fat are reflected, and old standbys such as Tuna Noodle Casserole and Fried Chicken are updated. Information on canning, jams, pickles, and preserves is replaced by expanded material on grilling, barbecuing, flavored oils, and vinegars. Also gone is the personal voice of the old Joy. The new Joy of Cooking is comprehensive for today's cooks. Time will tell if it remains the long-loved, dog-eared kitchen companion and teacher Joy has been since 1931.

 

 

 

Icon  Music

1.   Native Joy For Real

   ~ Joy Harjo (Audio CD)

    Original Release Date: 2004

    Avg. Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars

    

From Amazon.com: Internationally known Native American poet and musician Joy Harjo mixes the powerful lyrics of her raw smoky singing topped with jazzy, saucy licks of her alto sax. The result is a distinct native sound blended with jazz, rock, even folk and a touch of hip hop soul for spice. You can sing to it, you can dance to it, cry to it, even laugh a little.

 

 

2.   Singles

    ~ The Smiths (Audio CD)
    Original Release Date: 1995

    Avg. Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars

 

From Amazon.com: When you listen to this collection of nearly all the noteworthy singles by the Smiths, you might marvel over the fact that Morrissey and guitarist Johnny Marr collaborated and cowrite so many astonishing tunes only to break up a mere four years into their creative burst. The first half of Singles is a relentless parade of top-notch emotional Morrissey punches. Then just when you think you're going to catch your breath, "Bigmouth Strikes Again" breaks out and the poignancy and wit of that charming man really hits home. From the shimmering "Ask" to the dark crooner "Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me" to the closing hit "There's a Light That Never Goes Out," the collection leaves one feeling wistful, for these tracks will never be matched.

 

 

3.   Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic

    ~ Prince (Audio CD)

    Original Release Date: 1999

    Avg. Customer Rating: 4.1 out of 5 stars

 

From Amazon.com: Leave it to Prince to put the best music of Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic, his return to major-label status, on a hidden track. That would be No. 18, a.k.a. "Pretty Man." A deep-fried groove and sax by guest Maceo Parker underpin a hilarious mock self-celebration ("I write a check and the bank bounce") that proves the Artist can flow at full power any time he wants to. And whether Rave will prove as durable as 1995's vastly underrated Gold Experience, it's a fine Prince album. Despite his current affiliation with Clive Davis, who returned Carlos Santana to Billboard's No. 1 slot by pairing him prominently with a number of guest stars, Prince employs the likes of Sheryl Crow, Ani DiFranco and Eve to season his own blend, not to run off with the whole steaming pot. (Just to show who's boss, he includes a funky re-creation of Crow's hit "Everyday Is a Winding Road" that renders the song nearly unrecognizable.) The sounds here, from the Parade-style balladry of "[Eye] Love U, But [Eye] Don't Trust U Anymore" to the frenetic title track, won't surprise longtime followers, but they won't find a lot of reasons to complain, either.

1.   Freaky Friday

     Starring: Jamie Lee Curtis

     (2003) ~ DVD

     Avg. Customer Rating: 4.3 out of 5 stars

    

From Amazon.com: In the wonderfully entertaining Freaky Friday, teenager Anna (Lindsay Lohan) and her forty-something psychiatrist mom Tess (Jamie Lee Curtis) have sunk into a rut of frustrated bickering--until a magic spell causes them to switch bodies. Suddenly Tess finds herself faced with petty teachers, vicious rivals, and a hunky boy, while Anna has to cope with her mother's neurotic patients as well as her befuddled fiance (Mark Harmon), who doesn't understand why his bride-to-be is suddenly recoiling from his embrace on the eve of their wedding. Both Lohan and Curtis turn in deft, delightful performances, with Curtis showing a surprising flair for physical comedy. The movie even manages to explore serious issues about fractured families, new parents, and adolescent sexuality with honesty and empathy--and without making the story stop dead in its tracks. It's a mother-daughter film that fathers and sons can enjoy just as much.

 

 

2.   The Joy Luck Club

     Starring: Tamlyn Tomita, Rosalind Chao

     (1993) ~ DVD

     Avg. Customer Rating: 3.9 out of 5 stars

    

From Amazon.com: The 1993 film adaptation of Amy Tan's bestselling novel is both a delight and a moving experience, an anthology of stories wrapped in one Chinese-American woman's journey to understand her roots. Wayne Wang (Anywhere But Here) directs a large, outstanding cast spread over eight different tales of the lives of Chinese women, most of them set in the past. The script by Tan and Ronald Bass (Rain Man) is a delicate balance of emotions that swell but don't gush, and Wang brings impressive texture and a personal feel to Tan's descriptions of daily life in the Chinese-American community. This sprawling, good-looking movie makes for a cathartic tearjerker one can feel good about.

 

 

3.   Smokey and the Bandit

    Starring: Burt Reynolds

    (1977) ~ DVD

    Avg. Customer Rating: 4.6 out of 5 stars

 

From Amazon.com: It's easy to assume this is just another dumb redneck comedy from Burt Reynolds's years of underachievement. But it's not bad as a dumb redneck comedy at all. Directed by career stuntman Hal Needham, Smokey and the Bandit is just a goofy chase starring a bunch of Reynolds's Hollywood cronies. New to the job as film boss, Needham brings a silly but energized sensibility to the production and an action man's need to see things moving. But he also has a distinctive feeling for relationships, and he's good with a joke. Put all that together, and Smokey is, at the very least (and unlike its sequels), a simple and original pleasure.
