Advanced Praise for The Stay Joyful Method

  • Bose completely changed the way I think about networking, and I’m excited to try her joy-centered approach. The Stay Joyful Method pushes you to get clear, not just on your goals, but also on what excites you, which we often forget to consider. Instead of the usual surface-level check-ins, she invites you to name your joy and build from there. That clarity turns networking into something energizing and aligned with the kind of community where you can truly thrive.

    —Heather Meloy

    Director, Sustainability and Social Impact, PwC

  • The Stay Joyful Method reframes joy as the ultimate strategic advantage. Bose Akadiri reminds us that joy is not incidental to success. It fuels it. As a purpose-driven leader, she offers both inspiration and practical wisdom for anyone seeking impact without losing themselves in the process.

    —Alicia Wilson, Esq.

    Vice President for Civic Engagement and Opportunity, Johns Hopkins University

  • I absolutely love how Bose reframed joy as a must-have rather than a nice-to-have. She’s truly building the business case for joy and empowering us all to incorporate the use of joy in every aspect of our lives. As a team leader, I now better recognize the importance of prioritizing my own joy, so it brings joy into the team as well.

    —Jim Roth

  • Joy is often perceived as a reward for success. Bose flips that idea, showing how joy can be the starting point for living and working with greater intention, purpose, productivity, and impact.

    —Stacy Sharpe,

    Executive Vice President Chief Communications Officer, Verizon

  • Using joy as your offense and defense is a genius concept. This book is a timely reflection on how to capture and maintain your joy. Bose has provided the tools to help us better understand ourselves and live life on our terms, through the lens of inner joy rather than external validation. This book can support multiple generations, as joy is a lifelong goal, and Bose’s book is an excellent resource to ensure that joy is in your DNA.

    —Kenneth Jones

    Chief Operating Officer and Chief Equity Officer,

    John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation

  • I’ve been leading teams for over twenty years and The Stay Joyful Method is what we need right now. Through times of turbulence, Bose frames joy as a tool to be used for clarity, confidence, and planning.

    —Ebony Beckwith

    Founder, Framework

  • Bose is one of those rare people who lifts everyone around her. From the moment I met her when she first moved to Chicago, she has always had that same joyful spirit. Her message about joy is powerful and deeply needed right now, and I’m so excited she’s sharing it in this book.

    —Jonny Imerman

  • The Stay Joyful Method centers leading with joy as an effective life strategy and provides a helpful framework for cultivating joy. It reminds us that joy is personal, but flourishes in community.

    —Tiana Conley

    Vice President Corporate Brand and Purpose

  • I didn’t know how much I needed The Stay Joyful Method until I picked up my personal copy. From the “recognizing your joy” step in the Vision and Goals MethodTM to realizing that “joy connects you,” I believe I have the tools to redefine my personal and professional success. I’m ready to reclaim my joy, and I’m thrilled I have a method to make it happen!

    —Dr. Veronica Appleton, PhD

    Corporate Executive, Children’s Author, and Scholar

  • The Stay Joyful Method is truly an inspiring book. Bose doesn’t just stop at using joy in good times; she also addresses the difficulty of finding and claiming joy in the midst of grief and challenging decisions. We all face difficult times in our lives, and how we face those difficulties has a profound impact on our lives. Bose was a young woman when she found her way to our church, and she brought her beautiful spirit and smile with her. She first became a valuable member and volunteer, then later joined our staff as part of our hospitality team. Her faith and joy were at the forefront of her life.

    —Dr. Bob and Marsha Long

    St. Luke’s Methodist Church

  • Bose outlines practical steps and a method for how we make joy the guiding light and driving force of our purpose and our work. Leading global teams today is fraught with challenges, and Bose’s insights help me increase trust and optimism to power teams forward.

    —Dave Holloman

    Senior Partner

  • What I appreciate most about The Stay Joyful Method is how Bose reframes joy from a fleeting feeling into a practice. Through stories, research, and reflection, she shows how joy can guide our decisions, strengthen our relationships, and help us lead with greater clarity and intention. It’s an invitation to build a life and leadership style rooted in what truly matters.
