At a time when mental health struggles and loneliness are reaching unprecedented levels, the need to rediscover joy, community, and purpose has never been greater. But what if the key isn’t found by turning inward—but by turning outward?

Richard is a professor of psychology at Abilene Christian University, a widely-read blogger, and the author of several thought-provoking books, including his newest book, The Shape of Joy: The Transformative Power of Moving Beyond Yourself.
