Feeling wired, tired, and stretched too thin? You’re not alone – and you’re not broken.

In Wonder and Joy for the Wired and Tired, Dr. Pam Stephens Lehenbauer offers a compassionate and eye-opening look at why so many people feel chronically stressed, fatigued, and disconnected—and why the traditional wellness model, first conceived decades ago, is no longer serving us.

A respected researcher, epidemiologist, clinician, and thought leader on joy, wonder, and well-being, Dr. Lehenbauer guides readers on an interdisciplinary journey through neurobiology, psychology, culture, and spirituality. With warmth and clarity, she reveals how our culture’s obsession with chasing happiness has left us burnt out—and why a deeper, more sustainable path to well-being is not only possible, but essential.

This book is not just another quick fix, self-help book. Instead, it offers inspiration and empowerment to people who are ready to reconnect with what truly matters and live more joyous and wholehearted lives. Through powerful insights and gentle encouragement, Wonder and Joy for the Wired and Tired invites readers to step off the “happiness = wellness” hamster wheel, to take a big step back and a deep breath in; to make time to experience the tears, the chills, and the thrills of the extraordinary ordinary and the myriad wonders present in our wonder-filled world. Profound and enlightening, Wonder and Joy for the Wired and Tired serves as a field guide for those wanting to join the millions of others who are courageously choosing to change the way they live, love, and lead.

Welcome to the well-being revolution.
