Ed Osworth is a well-known Internet entrepreneur, marketing professional, coach and author of countless articles on marketing and copywriting as well as the best-selling trade book Real Estate Secrets.

Now calling himself “The Joy Professor” Ed has gone in a brand new direction with “Unstoppable Joy – 12 Simple Steps to a Happier You.”  Abandoning the subject matter of his past writings, this groundbreaking work is about something, “way more important than any of that stuff,” says Ed.

“Anyone can be a success at selling and marketing with the proper study and application. There are hundreds of good mentors and instructors out there to choose from.  The real challenge in the year 2008 is being happy,” observes Ed. “Not just ‘contented’ happy. It fairly easy to do that”.

“Imagine being so happy it literally affects all the folks you come in contact with and the entire world around you. Being so consistently joyous with your children and family that they always love to be in your presence. Appreciating fully all the wonderful times and opportunities that life is offering you right now. Living, laughing and loving with gusto every single day. I’ll show you how to make that “dream life” a habit.”

“It is a sad fact, but I would say over 90% of the folks I see are experiencing only a tiny fraction of the joy they are capable of, no matter how successful or wealthy they may seem.”

So how did a hardened and cynical Real Estate Broker, Online Marketer and Entepreneur turn into “The Joy Professor?”

In spite of his many career successes, Ed realized something was missing from his life and the lives of most people he met. Ed had successful businesses online and offline, status, toys and admiration of his peers. But he knew there was a big hole in life, something vital that most people he knew seemed to be seeking as well.

Then, one cold and dreary Christmas Eve, Ed discovered the missing link. He was in a state of what he calls “joy dehydration”. This serious lack of Joy in everyday living was sapping away his energy, prosperity, health and life itself. Ed comments that “Just like water dehydration, Joy dehydration sneaks up on you without your knowledge. The signs are anger, frustration, hopelessness, feeling detached or victimized and even despair.”

“In my case I knew that if I didn’t satisfy that unfilled thirst for Joy – I could soon be a dead man either from health problems or depression”.

“The cure for water dehydration is as simple as drinking some water” Ed notes. “The cure for Joy dehydration is a bit more complex. The threads of its causes are woven into the tapestry of our everyday life through many different sources of programming, education, social interaction and conditioning. In Unstoppable Joy you will see how to recognize these destructive threads and put them in proper perspective, rather than strangling the Joy out of your life with them”.

Ed discovered how a combination of social programming, your inner voices and “knee jerk” automatic mental processes in our minds constantly sabotage our ability to experience the joy that is everywhere. From this knowledge Ed created what he calls “The Law of Perception” and applied it to everything he experienced.

Within a few short months Ed’s life, health, prosperity and attitude turned totally around. Inspired by this epiphany and an overwhelming desire to share this powerful force for personal growth, Ed dove into the science of joy creation with the zeal of a scientist working on a cure for cancer.

Using the techniques he shares in “Unstoppable Joy” Ed reached a state of near constant joy. Once there, he realized that joy is inherent in all of us every moment of the day. Somehow things get turned around in most of our lives and we choose to forsake this natural and healthy state of joy.

Finding your Unstoppable Joy is simply coming home to your true nature” says Ed. “Living in Joy is not some “far out” concept or goal, but actually our natural state of being! Because of this once you start using the techniques in “Unstoppable Joy” you are naturally pulled towards succeeding in freeing that Joy”.

“All Unstoppable Joy actually does is to show you a simple and straightforward path back to the joyous and loving person you really are…deep down. We show you how to bring that version of yourself to the surface” concludes Ed.

To share his discovery he called upon his old friend Jenifer Kay Hood, an award-winning writer, business coach and kindred spirit whose background in literature and education would be invaluable in structuring the material he wanted to share. Working together, Ed and Jenifer created an easy to understand and apply textbook on how anyone can live in a state of Unstoppable Joy!

Like Ed, Jenifer Kay Hood’s career leaned toward marketing, but on the communications side. She worked as a journalist, corporate communications officer and ran her own public relations agency, the Cyrano Service.

Jenifer received her Masters degree in English with an emphasis on American literature and drama and was awarded the Margaret Heaton prize for best thesis. She then did doctoral coursework at the University of British Columbia under renowned specialist Dr. Peter Quartermain.

Before her academic career, Jenifer wrote and starred in a one-woman show about the life of Edna St. Vincent Millay, which was featured on PBS. This led to being on the writing team of the Academy award nominated Ishi: The Last Yahi and Emmy-nominated Tell the Truth and Run: George Seldes and the American Press.

She also received a Best Feature award from the California Newspaper Publishers’ Association.

She is the author of Bunny and Vincent: The Love Story of Edmund Wilson and Edna St. Vincent Millay. Jenifer’s latest work, The Madness of President George, will be released in fall 2008
