She suffers no fools, especially the toxic optimists.”—Jerry SeinfeldYou can’t always be happy, but you can be joyful, anyway.We live in a culture convinced that chasing happiness will optimize our bodies, our minds, our relationships, our lives. But in the meantime, bad news usually stays bad: illness, chronic pain, grief, and disappointment don’t obey our timelines or vision boards. We are left wondering why, if we’re doing everything right, life still feels so hard.Honest and bracingly tender, Joyful, Anyway proves that experiencing joy does not depend on resolving everything that makes life difficult. Drawing on a decade of living with serious illness and a lifetime studying America’s obsession with progress, Kate Bowler shows why people so busy chasing happiness miss out on actual joy.Joy isn’t something you can optimize or manufacture—it finds us at the edge of expectation, when life interrupts our scripts. Joyful, Anyway gives language for the ache we all carry and practices for “putting yourself in the way of joy”: loosening control, introducing novelty, choosing charity, and staying open to the surprising, technicolor moments that pull us back into life.Joy reminds us that no matter what, life is still worth loving. For every time we ask is this it?, joy will answer: There is more. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/126f1630-f9f1-11f0-a762-a5a54ee079f5-rimg-w493-h740-dcfdfae9-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/santa-monica/kate-bowler-with-rainn-wilson/100001981421705660 - **Event Categories**: art, theatre, literary-art, entertainment, virtual, fine-arts, comedy, nonprofit, charities - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 56.05, max: 83.59, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Santa Monica - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: The Ann and Jerry Moss Theater--New Roads School - **lat**: 34.0312888 - **long**: -118.461258 - **full address**: The Ann and Jerry Moss Theater--New Roads School, Herb Alpert Educational Village, Santa Monica, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Kate Bowler with Rainn Wilson - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/d32b36792ed44302af7ff6664679114827299b7f71742c898e1529b6b3e603d9-rimg-w1200-h600-dc040302-gmir.jpg?v=1769347430 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Kate Bowler with Rainn Wilson being held? - **A:** Kate Bowler with Rainn Wilson takes place on Sun, 26 Apr, 2026 at 04:00 pm to Sun, 26 Apr, 2026 at 05:15 pm at The Ann and Jerry Moss Theater--New Roads School, Herb Alpert Educational Village, Santa Monica, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Kate Bowler with Rainn Wilson? - **A:** Ticket prices for Kate Bowler with Rainn Wilson range from USD 56 to USD 84 depending on the ticket type.
