Explosions of Joy is a memoir about the grief counselor to families of the missing Malaysia Airlines flight 370. On March 8, 2014, those families went to pick up their loved ones and saw "delay" on the arrival boards. Within the hour, they were instructed to gather at a hotel conference room because the plane had disappeared from radar. Paul Yin lived in Beijing and went straight there when the news broke. He immediately orchestrated counseling for all those involved by connecting them to insurance/EAP if they had it, trained counselors on the spot, and conducted his own sessions. He was the face on all the newscasts (CNN, Anderson Cooper, NBC, and many other international news outlets) as an advocate for the families.

The memoir follows his life as he fought to break through the barriers against mental health care which remained intact from Mao Zedong's rule. Paul Yin, after studying psychology in California, fought hard to chip away at "political thought correction" in China to replace it with real, beneficial counseling. He has lectured to hundreds of crowds, trained thousands of counselors, and was instrumental in establishing the Employee Assistance Program in China and parts of Africa. Paul has provided counseling to victims and families of several Chinese National disasters: SARS, the Sichuan Earthquake, Asiana Airlines 214 Disaster, and, most recently, MH370. Paul helped China realize the need for psychology, and he describes the ways he helped people find joy despite unspeakable grief.

Paul's inspiration through his whole journey has been to put aside his own ego, live a life with meaning, and lift others up above himself. He said, "I will never walk on water, but I want to be the droplets of water for others to walk on," which was why, most recently, he agreed to accept a position as a teacher at a prep school for Peking University called Dalton Academy. His teaching philosophy is having an amazing impact on young minds. Dalton's top-requested field of study is now psychology in a country which just 20 years ago had very few ways to study the field, and a country where Paul Yin was told unequivocally, "There's no place for psychology in China and you know it "

"Explosions of Joy is an extraordinary tribute to counselor Paul Yin and to grieving families of Malaysia Flight 370 disaster. The book illustrates kindness, compassion, advocacy, activism and faith in the face of aviation tragedy." -Ellen Weber (PhD) Mita International Brain Center

"A brilliant, haunting, and healing book . . ." -Dr. Herb Goldberg, author of What Men Still Don't Know About Women, Relationships, and Love; The Hazards of Being Male: Surviving the Myth of Masculine Privilege, Creative Aggression, and several others

Effective
I normally do not have oily skin, however lately my forehead and nose have been super oily and it's driving me crazy! Maybe I overdid it with tons of new skincare I've been trying out. I recently got the Thayer's milky toner and I love it so so much, but I thought I should try this one instead because my face gets greasy halfway through the work day lately. I've been using this after washing my face before bed and when I wake up and I think it is working so well to reduce the oily skin. It's also this really unique jelly texture and feels cool and smooth on my skin

Clean product
This is a great value for the price you pay for the product. It’s easy to use. It does have a gel type consistency, That’s very easy to put on your face. It does not have any lingering smell or odor. And it does a nice job of helping to absorb extra oil on my face.

Good for oily skin/not overly drying!
Love this!! My skin actually feels a lot less oily during the day and it doesn’t dry my skin out either. The smell is a tiny bit weird but it doesn’t really bother me and it dissipates quickly after applying.
