Joy prescriptions : how I learned to stop chasing perfection and embrace connection / Tiffany Moon, MD.
"Tiffany Moon, M.D., is an anesthesiologist, entrepreneur, social media personality, and former cast member of Bravo's "Real Housewives of Dallas." In "Joy Prescriptions," she offers a part-memoir, part-self-help guide to stop chasing perfection and embrace gratitude and connection. As Tiffany explains, despite being a lifelong overachiever with a thriving career, she had a gorgeous home that she barely enjoyed. She had a closet full of nice things she bought to soothe herself, but she didn't feel soothed. She had a beautiful family that she didn't spend enough time with. She felt simultaneously grateful and stuck, successful but disappointed, happy but weary. "Joy Prescriptions" relates Tiffany's journey as a Chinese immigrant breaking through the expectations of being a perfectionist and building a new way of life based on laughter and the idea that true happiness is only possible when we let go of what other people want for us and live according to our values. Her lessons include: Compare and Contrast: Competition can be healthy if it motivates you to do better, strive for greater goals, or try something new. But if you find that you're constantly caught up in the compare-and-despair cycle, avoid comparing other people's outside to your inside. Yes Woman: Sometimes as much as you try, some relationships aren't meant to be. Remember that you don't have to be friends with everyone you meet. Joy Interrupted: Choose joy in the present day overreaching for some unattainable goal in the far future. If You Don't Laugh, You'll Cry: Everyone is going through their problems. But what brings us together, what creates connection, is being able to laugh at ourselves together. Laughter is the best medicine and should be a part of any prescription for finding joy in life. It took a great deal of soul searching before Tiffany concluded she needed to break out of the "good girl" mold and live for herself to be completely present for others. "Joy Prescriptions" will inspire other women-particularly those who feel constrained by the defined roles and expectations of others--to find the courage to take on new challenges and explore who they are"-- Provided by publisher.
