Joy as a State of Being – Carolyn Pistone’s New Book Blends Personal Story, Philosophy, and a Bold Call to Live Fully
Petaluma, California, USA – April 13, 2026 – Gifted writer and renowned public speaker Carolyn Pistone has released her latest book, Joy Rising: Boundaries, Bravery, and a Bit of Bliss. This is a personal narrative with gritty stories spanning decades that bravely confront loss, betrayal, grief, and survival. These stories provide an intimate look at personal adversity while emphasizing the importance of joy as a daily practice.
Joy Rising challenges the current cultural and political climate by redefining joy as an embodied act of courage and resistance. From political division and global conflicts to economic crises and personal burnout, the author’s new book offers companionship and gentle guidance on using joy as a tool for survival in a tumultuous world. Rather than offering productivity techniques or motivational exercises, the book makes an impact through lived experience and immersive storytelling.
With stories spanning continents and reflecting on life’s ordinary and extraordinary moments, readers learn that joy is not separate from adversity. In fact, joy can coexist with trauma, grief, and despair. While society collectively grapples with mental health and a post-pandemic identity, Joy Rising serves as a friendly reminder that joy is not a personal achievement but an inherent birthright.
Carolyn Pistone is a renowned writer and keynote speaker. After authoring her groundbreaking first book, Open for Joy: A Journey of Healing and Business Success, she addresses difficult subjects such as power, pleasure, grief, aging, faith, injustice, and hardship. She does so with her unique outlook, balancing seriousness with unexpected humor and tackling life’s biggest challenges with a candid, unconventional voice.
As a business leader, Carolyn has built successful ventures in both corporate and entrepreneurial settings. Her career has given her an unfiltered view of how people navigate adversity. Carolyn doesn’t offer quick fixes or distractions; she helps readers stay emotionally present through adversity and find joy.
Carolyn Pistone is available for interviews.
Joy Rising: Boundaries, Bravery, and a Bit of Bliss is now available on Amazon.com.
