Joy Teaching

The Creator put you here with a purpose. Most of us can feel it; many are searching for it. But what if your purpose was as simple as knowing, learning and living love? Through 7 Ancient Teachings — Truth, Honesty, Courage, Bravery, Respect, Humility, & Wisdom — this book offers a clear, practical spiritual path to align with your True self and a higher purpose, through the practice of living love. Based on indigenous wisdom, it guides you home to being a True Human Being: one who embodies love, joy, freedom, and purpose.

In this extremely rare recording from one of the most inspired and influential Rabbis of our generation, Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach says, “You think only people that don’t hear so well need sign language?

In this follow-up to Cultivating Genius, Dr. Gholdy Muhammad adds a fifth pursuit—joy—to her groundbreaking instructional model. She defines joy as more than celebration and happiness, but also as wellness, beauty, healing, and justice for oneself and across humanity. She shows how teaching from cultural and historical realities can enhance our efforts to cultivate identity, skills, intellect, criticality, and—indeed—joy for all students, giving them a powerful purpose to learn and contribute to the world.
