Participant Testimonials
Pat N.
"This program is so well-paced, the information at a level that is accessible, the exercises meaningful. Best of all, everything is set up to be completely applicable to one's life."
Leah N.
"I am so grateful for Joy Lab. The Elements & Experiments speak to me, and I finally feel like I am getting the answers to becoming the best version of myself. I'm doing the work, and it feels great! In the first podcast, I cried because it spoke to me; it resonated with me; it gave/gives me hope. The following podcasts and experiments continue to give me hope. I am grateful for all this amazing information!"
Jane A.
"I can’t tell you how incredible the Joy Lab has been for me!! I use the infusions regularly and it has been so helpful to become mindful of my thoughts which really is the foundation for a happy, balanced life or one based in fear and apprehension which is where my path in the long tall grass has become matted down. I’m in the process of creating a new path."
Lisa N.
"My favorite experiment is Dialogue with my soul! The vivid imagery created is so helpful and makes the experience come alive. I feel a connection to the divine during this time. It’s so pure!"
Mary H.
"This program is a lifeline back to myself and a new normal."
Ben H.
"I'm lucky to have access to a therapist while I do this program. We recap on what I do in the experiments. I feel like I've made more strides in the last year than I have in the last 10. I'm so grateful."
Looking for ways to build coping skills? Meet Joy Lab.
Joy Lab helps you move beyond common thought and behavior patterns that can keep you stuck in low moods and stress patterns that wear you down.
Each month, you'll experiment with one of the 12 Elements of Joy. These Elements are the positive emotions and inner states that create a strong foundation to support your mood, invite more ease into your days, and help uncover and sustain your most natural, joyful state of being.
Boost your joy and learn how to thrive by creating more mental and emotional flexibility.
Build skills
As you work with the Elements of Joy, you'll build skills and confidence to more effectively navigate your own thoughts and emotions.
Focus on your strengths
Creating change can be tough, but it doesn't have to feel bad. That's why Joy Lab helps you focus on what's right with you, not what’s wrong.
Recognize your patterns
As we say around here: Practice makes pattern. Each experiment in the Joy Lab Program helps you establish new patterns that nourish your mind and body in noticeable and meaningful ways.
Connect more deeply with yourself
Creating change is an inside job. And that's good news, because you are wise and resilient. You'll work through four experiments every month that help you tap into those aspects of your nature and help you to connect with your deepest, most authentic self.
You're wired for joy
You may not feel like it, but you're wired for joy. It's just how we humans have evolved. The Joy Lab program helps you uncover that wiring so it can help electrify the aspects of yourself that might feel stagnant or disconnected.

As you build on one Element, it automatically supports the growth of the others.
This is the upward spiral we talk about so often around here. It's a powerful phenomenon that we leverage here at Joy Lab, allowing our work on one Element to not only feed growth in every other Element we experiment with, but the impact of our effort also broadens and spirals beyond that, stimulating growth and wellbeing in other aspects (e.g., social connections and physical health).
Community encourages better outcomes.
Even though the program is self-guided, we work on the same Element each month as a larger community. This is a purposeful strategy to help boost your motivation and success in the program. And bonus: this community strategy leverages something called the "network effect." It's one of our strategies we take seriously around here to fuel our unapologetically fierce mission to ignite more joy across the globe.
Why Joy Lab?
Joy lab has a unique and effective approach that helps you build skills to overcome common obstacles that harm mental health.
There's more to mental health than just a state of "fine." Joy Lab helps you go beyond your baseline and into a more thriving state of mental health.
You'll do this by practicing and building up the 12 Elements of Joy with four Monthly Experiments.
Let us support you on your journey to a more joyful life.
Build a joyful foundation, harness your strengths, and uncover your true self.
