Doctor by day and Bravo’s Real Housewife by night, Tiffany Moon has a prescription for releasing perfectionism and finding joy!
"A must-read for anyone seeking more balance, purpose, and joy at home and at work.” —Barbara Corcoran, Shark Tank real estate mogul and business expert
As a self-proclaimed “good girl,” Tiffany was a people pleaser and an A-student, fitting into the roles that were prescribed by her Chinese American family. As a lifelong overachiever, she accomplished a thriving career as an anesthesiologist. Yet Tiffany felt unfulfilled. She spent more time at work than at home with her family, didn’t know how to say “no” to anyone, and was governed by perfectionist standards.
In Joy Prescriptions, Tiffany shares her journey to reconnect with herself. In order to feel whole, she had to drop the perfectionist trope and focus on rediscovering who she was. Tiffany abandoned other people’s expectations and ultimately discovered how to live for her true self. She put herself first and embraced more creativity and laughter. Taking surprising chances on herself, she started a candle business, starred on a reality TV series, tried her hand at stand-up comedy, and became a social media influencer.
Joy Prescriptions is a must-read if you want to add more spark and joy to your life. Tiffany offers a healthy dose of introspection and healing that will release you from the constrained expectations of others and inspire you to design a joyful life that is more authentically you!
“Tiffany’s hard-earned wisdom and heartfelt stories remind us that true wealth is all about creating a life that feels rich in every way.” —Vivian Tu, New York Times bestselling author of Rich AF
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Anesthesiologist and Real Housewives of Dallas cast member Moon debuts with a chatty and candid reflection on how she learned to live more intentionally. In her 30s, the author found herself "successful but disappointed, content but weary" as she stretched herself thin with parenting, working full time as a doctor, and generally trying to "fill the void inside" by pleasing everyone. She decided to go "off autopilot," and focus on seeking out connection with other people and broadening her horizons (including by joining the Real Housewives of Dallas in 2019). From these experiences she draws such "joy prescriptions" as setting boundaries to better keep one's priorities straight and prioritizing humor and laughter. Throughout, the author drops in fun behind-the-scenes anecdotes about her reality TV stint, while generally maintaining a down-to-earth tone as she discusses the challenges of casting off the rule-following "good girl" persona she'd grown up trying to fulfill. Real Housewives fans will find this worth their time.
