Celebrating Joy is My Justice
We recently joined Dr. Sethi in celebrating the launch of her powerful new book, Joy Is My Justice: Reclaim What Is Yours, in which she powerfully combines lived experience and professional expertise to illuminate a science-backed path to reclaiming joy at a cellular level. The book is rich with wisdom: the neuroscience of joy, life lessons drawn from personal experience navigating some of life’s most difficult challenges, and practical tools to help restore joy, even in the face of injustice.
“Joy Is My Justice is a clear-eyed, eloquent, loving guide to the joy and fulfillment that we can discover as we meet life’s darkest, most traumatizing challenges. Tanmeet Sethi has been there and done that. She does it every day, and generously shares her hard-earned wisdom. I am honored that Tanmeet credits the Center’s work as inspiration, and grateful for all that she teaches me.”

Dr. Sethi on her work with CMBM
- What is your most memorable experience with CMBM? “I will never forget my all female group in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria. They reminded me that we can have fierce compassion, powerful love for each other and ourselves and that this can heal.”
- What do you want people to know about mind-body medicine? “These skills are accessible to all of us, they are part of our innate, primal wisdom. All of us deserve and can have moments of ease, hope and peace.”
- What is your go-to mind-body medicine practice? “The breath. On top of its capacity to stimulate our vagus nerve, it reminds me that I have the power to start over in any one moment, to give my mind and body a moment of safety, no matter what.”
