The Unexpected Joy of the Ordinary

by Catherine Gray

A book about appreciating the ordinary. About finding joy in the little moments. Catherine Gray explores ordinary life while also being on a journey to sobriety. She talks about her personal journey but also delves into the psychology and neuroscience through academic studies and field experts. 

It’s a book that is easy to read and has lots of opportunities for takeaways or ideas that you can incorporate into your own life. She writes about big ideas and modern trends, social media and sunsets. About work, love and exercise, there is not much that isn’t at least touched upon.

It’s a book about being happy as we are already and where we are without being on a constant quest to upgrade our life and even ourselves.
