Publisher's Summary

A bestselling author helps listeners find radical joy in a world full of constant comparison by accepting that life is a wild ride and happiness fluctuates with our circumstances.

Happiness is considered a destination, but the finish line is constantly moving—when we get married, find that dream job, move away from home, have a baby, build a dream house, etc. We are promised that a happy life is tied to these milestones.

But what if society has it wrong? What if happiness isn't the goal at all?

With her trademark candor and hilarious storytelling, MK paints a picture of a different life—one bursting with a force that is far more sustainable and vibrant: joy.

Crazy Joy will help listeners:

1. Identify and reject ridiculous expectations that society has placed on their lives.

2. Liberate their hearts from the comparison prison and feel content in their current circumstances.

3. View themselves, inside and out, as the masterpiece creations they are.

4. Find joy (and dare we say, laughter!) in the middle of life's biggest messes.

Witty and refreshingly honest, MK invites her listeners to embark on a counter-cultural journey toward a life filled to the brim with contentment, humor, and most importantly, Crazy Joy.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Good Times!! 🤣

I loved listening to this new edition to MK's crazy life! There were ALOT of funnies, such as seeking permission to fart ( only you, crazy lady 😳), that one had my hubby busting a gut! Steel Magnolia's is one of my go-tos, especially when I feel I need a "reason" to cry, & others are here. Having said that, i actually choked on my coffee when you were talking about "whack-a-weezer", one of the best laugh/cry moments in any movie 😢🤣. Now, i must watch it again this weekend, for probably the 200th time 👍. You slay me, MK, be it in post (written or long selfie 🤣), or listening to you read the words of a book that you've poured your heart in to 😂. Please keep bringing your crazy ass self, in all media forms, to those of us whom adore you!! ❤️❤️

Mundane

Nothing new here. Do not waste your time. Struggled to finish hoping for some wisdom. There is none.
