In Catherine Gray's hilarious insightful soulful (and very ordinary) next book you may learn to do just that. From the London Sunday Times Bestselling Author We're told that happiness is in the extraordinary. It's on a Caribbean sun lounger in the driving seat of a luxury car inside an expensive golden locket watching sunrise from Machu Picchu. We strive reach push shoot for more. Enough is a moving target we never quite reach. When we do brush our fingertips against the extraordinary a deeply inconvenient psychological phenomenon called the 'hedonic treadmill means that after a surge of joy our happiness level returns to the baseline it was at before the 'extra event. So what's the answer? The Unexpected Joy of the Ordinary theorizes that the solution is rediscovering the joy in the ordinary that we so often now forget to feel. Because we now expect the pleasure of a croissant a hot shower a yoga class someone delivering our shopping to our door we no longer feel its buzz. The joy of it whips through us like a bullet train without pause. Catherine Gray was a grandmaster in the art of eye - rolling the ordinary and skilled in everlasting reaching.
