Resumen del Editor

Read by the author.

"Quirky and inviting essays on what it means to live joyfully in a world full of 'anger and anxiety'...This optimism booster has a light touch and a lasting impact."—Publishers Weekly

An essential companion to Brant Hansen’s bestselling Unoffendable, this book is about one idea: a mindset of joy. In a modern culture filled with anxiety, depression, and societal clashes, it is not only possible to have a fulfilling, joyful life, but it’s promised to all who follow Jesus. Life is hard, but God is good. And through Him we can start to see the world in a more childlike, humble, and optimistic way.

Brant Hansen doesn't follow a success plan. He just keeps simply showing up and taking Jesus very seriously. And by taking Jesus seriously in all of life, he has become more joyful. More peaceful. And full of laughter. And that attitude is contagious to all who read his bestselling books and listen to his award-winning radio show.

In Life Is Hard, God Is Good, Let's Dance, Brant is at his best—sharing stories from around the world, as well as from his own heart and head, with a writing style that will likely make you laugh, cry, and rethink your outlook on life and the kingdom of God. Through his unique life experiences and extensive travels, you will see how God is moving through people all over the world and learn to:

• Retrain how you think about joy and be mindful of its positive impact in your life
• See that it's possible to live joyfully in a world of anger and anxiety
• Completely trust the character and promises of God
• Claim the abundant life mentioned in John 10:10
• Live each day simply and with contagious faith and joy

Brant says, "In this book, I want to take the format of Bob Goff's Love Does and mix it with my own strange experiences, in a way that I think Ted Lasso would be proud of." Through short, energetic, captivating, and often humorous chapters, Brant's message will leave you with a renewed love for a simpler life that overflows with greater joy than you’ve ever experienced.

Delightful!

Delight and joy filled my soul from listening to this excellent book. I didn’t want it to end. Thank you, Brant.

Good reminders

I have enjoyed anything Hansen has written this far. This book, like his others, has some interesting perspectives, but is of great value for its reminders. Here, he reminds us to look up more than inward, so that we can better live the life God has for us. An easy listen, especially because Hansen is the narrator, and that helps the inflection to be accurately placed—always a high point for an audiobook.

I especially liked his anecdote for looking at a situation from a different angle, when he talks about Moses and Miriam at the end.

Hey, Brant, I actually listened to the acknowledgements! ;)

Encouragement

Brant’s book was touching and encouraging. He has a way of making it seem like he’s talking right to you. A light in a dark world.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book!!

Zany stories, new insights, profound wisdom all wrapped up in a book about joy. I have laughed, and cried, and cheered, and bowed my head in wonder at the profound insights of this man. I have shared his insights with my friends and my colleagues and my Sunday School class (some overlap there!) as God has used this book to remind me again of His goodness and His greatness. I know that sounds trite, but once you read this book, you will understand.

Great book

informative, joyful return to who we were meant to be in God's house. highly recommended

We all could use more joy!

Brant’s conversational style infused with his humor adds even more joy to the message of joy he is proposing. I appreciate his humility, directness, and genuineness.

would listen again & again!

Incredible story telling. I laughed out loud and audibly said “wow, so wise” or “wow I’m gonna write that down” many times.

Good read/ Listen, listen to his podcast too, The OddCast

Just in general, I relate with Brant, his dry humor, his big caring giving heart and Even though I’m not on the spectrum, I have dealt with a lot of social anxiety from being someone who lives with handicaps.
I love his podcast too which is one of the biggest reasons why I picked this book.

A Beautiful Field Guide for Navigating Life

I just finished this audiobook in 3 days. just finished it an hour ago, now I'm starting back over at chapter 1. Thank you Brant, for this treasure!

Seeing Joy in every day events

For me this book was too short. I listened to a chapter a day after my bible reading and it didn’t even take a month. If you want more of this content try listening to Brant’s “OddCast”
