Summary

Ballet's Hidden Pain reveals the demanding reality behind the art form's graceful facade. It delves into the physical and psychological tolls dancers endure, challenging the romanticized image of ballet. Dancers often begin rigorous training at a young age, pushing their bodies to extreme limits. This pursuit of perfection can lead to a host of injuries, from stress fractures to joint problems, and contribute to mental health challenges like body image issues and performance anxiety. The book explores these issues through scientific research, interviews, and statistical data, connecting exercise science, sports medicine, and psychology to understand the dancer's experience. Chapters progress from introducing ballet training principles, to analyzing common injuries, and finally proposing strategies for injury prevention and mental health support. This approach offers a comprehensive understanding of the sacrifices made in ballet.

    Unprecedented global events have left many of us feeling depleted, depressed, isolated, and disconnected from many of the things that made us happy. Lisa McCourt, host of the Do Joy! podcast and founder of Joy School, helps people raise their joy setpoints regardless of what is happening around them. 
 
 
 
Learning about joy is one thing, but it’s the doing that actually shifts your energy. McCourt offers a unique approach to joy and emotional wellness, outlining a year-long adventure in happiness that can be started on any day of the year. Joy is not an elusive fantasy to be chased; it is simply a skill to be learned, practiced, and mastered. McCourt takes listeners, month by month, through the life-altering principles of vibration elevation that she has taught for twenty years through her Joy School. 
 
 
 
Each of the twelve “keys” to experiencing sustainable, authentic joy builds sequentially upon the previous one to create a progressive shifting of the listener's inner landscape to one of joy and ease. As the inner landscape transforms, transformation of the external reality inevitably follows. McCourt offers weekly “homeplay” for the listener to take into their daily experience which, when followed, upgrade their thought patterns and default reactions into beneficial new habits of thought and behavior.
