Joyology begins with Pat Armitstead. Becoming the world’s first JOYOLOGIST didn’t happen without struggles, trials, tribulation and PAIN. Pat lost her child, lost her business, is a cancer survivor, avoided bankruptcy by re-paying $80,000 in two years and lost her husband to another woman.

But she kept moving forward. She toured orphanages of Russia with Patch Adams. She was severely stricken with grief, yet wanted to avoid being medicated on Prozac. So, she wrote a book called, ANTIZAC. She has depth and thoughtfulness combined with humor and a playful attitude.

With an impish grin she adds “ This is not a bitter pill to swallow and most interestingly, no prescribing rights are required! A non chemical alternative to Prozac it is intended to heal what ails humanity right now.´

What ails people the most in Pat’s opinion is not their illness per se but their habituated negative ways of being. Offering solutions to an ailing community is about raising consciousness, developing our intuitive selves and offering into “what it is we see” as a result of that enhanced perceptiveness. It is about being a contribution. It is also about seeing people as great.

Dr Robin Kelly concurs, saying “Human beings are meant to be joyful, light-hearted and happy… READ MORE!
