“Dr. Roger Teel has a beautiful, down-to-earth style of speaking and connecting with his audience in an easy, intimate way. His words in This Life Is Joy do the same. He invites me, the reader, into an adventure of personal discovery, but with the confidence that someone who has already done the work is going to travel with me by means of the pages in the book. Sincerity and thoughtfulness seep out of the words and the call to find a way to serve and care for others reminds the reader of Dr. Teel’s central message—that there is no other action that establishes us in love more powerfully or reliably than that of heartfelt giving to others.”

“No easy feat to simultaneously engage both veteran seekers and those first dawning to their own light, but that is exactly what Roger Teel does here. His story-wisdom-telling technique invites readers to absorb their healing whole—like oxygen—or parse it out as a lifestyle technology by which process delivers result. Ultimately, Teel weaves sense out of the false dichotomy between ‘life in the world,’ and inner peace by gently unraveling their connection at the core. Not only does this book hand over the keys to a successful life, it does so by tapping the spiritual courage to redefine altogether what that means.”
