CHICAGO – Author Laurie Mattera has nearly two decades of experience as a counselor and clinical psychologist. She now presents her strategies for living a joyful and balanced life in her new book, "Joyful Soul: A Promise Worthy of Trust" (published by Balboa Press), which takes readers through a series of workable strategies for achieving psychological and spiritual health in each vital facet of one's life.
Mattera takes readers step-by-step through the Areas of Focus (AOFs) in life that she says are of high value, so they can live balanced, joyful lives. She teaches strategies of developing a strong spiritual core, enhancing relationships and finding joy in work. "Joyful Soul" synthesizes ideas on holistic living with how to achieve psychological and spiritual health in all aspects of life.
An excerpt from "Joyful Soul: A Promise Worthy of Trust":
"I've felt deflated, stressed, disorganized, and as though every relationship with almost everyone in my life was a disaster. But I've managed to turn my life around and so can you. In this book I will share with you the secrets to achieving joy and balance in your life. You see, deep down inside you already are a Joyful Soul! My goal is to help you tap into that joy, bring it to the surface, and gain control and power over your life."
