About Me




WHO I AM AND WHY I'M SO SUCCESSFUL:

People often say to me, "Professor Joy, how did you become so successful? You've got a beautiful house, you're the author of fifteen best selling published self help books, and you have a mantelpiece littered with awards, and a social diary packed with appointments with the rich and famous at fabulous restaurants, a good looking husband and two perfect children. How? WHY?

Well. It certainly wasn't always this way. At one time no one would even publish my self help books, I had to try and sell them in the street. People were saying "Joy, you're all washed up. Give up now. Only a fool would take self help advice from you." Tough beginnings. But I told myself I needed a new paradigm. Paradigm is a special, secret word, that only self help people know. Just using the word paradigm can make us feel important.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Send me a messager and I might find time in my busy, successful schedule to answer it:

Your Messages:

Can self help help climate change? Danielle, Lewisham

The short answer to that is no. But think about it; if we help ourselves- surely we are helping the enviroment too?. One things for sure, Messing up the rainforest is just a reflection of our own low self esteem.. You could also help- by cutting back on other self help books- and only reading this one.

I’m finding it hard to get decisions made. I couldn’t even decide whether or not to write this. Pete, Bishopsgate

Sometimes I employ these steps on the subject of decision making; “making decisions, a quick guide to getting decisions made /and/or/ decision making”
1) make a list of all the decisions you have to make 2) decide which decisions you need making, in order of importance 3) order them in order of importance, important descisions first. 4) be careful this does not run into procrastination.

Dear Joy. How will I know if I’ve met Mr Right?, Is it my boyfriend? Jane, 28

The worst thing in the world must be to meet a man who’s absolutely right in every way, but who hasn’t got a particularly nice penis. But this happened to me when I was about your age, slightly younger actually,. (27). You could solve this problem by having many different boyfriends in many different locations, and visiting them at 10 or more different times throughout the day.
