Reviews"Kevin Griffin's writing is warm, clear, and deeply honest. He offers an amazing number of experiential practices along with gripping personal examples, contemplative wisdom, and a highly creative synthesis of mindfulness and recovery. This book is a gem, showing how lasting true happiness can be found in a world of constant changes." -- Rick Hanson, PhD , author of  Buddha's Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love, and Wisdom " Recovering Joy  is an inspiring guidebook to help reconnect us with the aliveness that's right inside waiting to be awakened. In his honest, playful, engaging style, Kevin Griffin offers wisdom teachings and practices to help any reader, in recovery or not, access true well-being." -- James Baraz , coauthor of Awakening Joy (with Shoshana Alexander) and cofounding teacher at Spirit Rock Meditation Center "Kevin Griffin's Recovering Joy is an essential book for anyone in recovery looking for fulfillment and a deeper practice of Step 11. The author uses the principles of the 12 Steps and the Buddha's Eightfold Path as the vehicle for a journey within. Kevin's presentation is unique and clear in weaving these two traditions together to guide readers to be able to enhance their lives with more happiness. Kevin is very candid as he writes about his search for happiness. He talks openly about his depression and the mood swings he has dealt with as a Dharma teacher with many years of recovery. This book is about finding happiness while in the midst of our daily challenges." -- Tom Catton , author of The Mindful Addict: A Memoir of the Awakening of a Spirit and May I Sit with You: A Simple Approach to Meditation.
