What if joy wasn’t something rare to chase—but something we could practice, exchange, and multiply?​

​

In The Joy Exchange, Laura Hope Whitaker invites readers into a world where belonging is the rule, not the exception. ​From her humble beginnings as a 19-year-old running a non-profit, Laura shows how the very individuals our culture often overlooks have the most to teach us about love, leadership, and community.

​

With warmth, candor, and humor, she challenges us to trade comfort for connection, hesitation for hospitality, and problems for purpose.​

​

This is not just a book of stories—it’s an invitation. An invitation to see differently, love boldly, and discover that the greatest power we hold is delighting in the person right in front of us.​

 

Because when you enter into the joy exchange, you don’t just change others -

 

you are changed too.
