Joyspan

We often assume joy is a finite resource, peaking in youth and slowly diminishing with age, a reward for perfect circumstances. We watch ourselves or others quietly withdraw from new experiences, convinced that the best years are behind them. But what if this widespread belief is fundamentally mistaken? This book argues that aging isn't a process of inevitable decline, but a profound opportunity to cultivate a deeper, more resilient form of joy. It invites us to shift our gaze from what's lost to what can be gained, showing how intentional choices about connection, purpose, and perspective can expand our capacity for happiness, making every chapter of life vibrant and meaningful. It’s about actively building a "joyspan" that stretches across our entire existence, rather than passively watching it shrink.
