Last night Godfrey said that he had listened to the podcast linked below and become aware of the book which is in the title of the thread. He brought it up mostly for discussion of use of "Joy" as term for introducing someone to concepts similar to Epicurus' views of pleasure.
If you click over to the Amazon page you can see the table of contents. It's not a philosophy book and it's not clear how much it addresses the deeper issues on whether or why pleasure or joy should be one's goal, but the title itself is interesting in describing joy as a "risk worth taking." It might be interesting to discuss her approach to exactly what those risks are and how they can be overcome. We can use the thread to discuss the podcast and book for anyone that is interested.
