Dr Paul Abell, Ph.D.

Dr. Paul Abell is a pioneer in integrative healing with over five decades of experience blending Eastern and Western traditions. With a Ph.D. in Human Behavior from Ryokan College and a deep foundation in psychology and traditional healing arts, Paul has dedicated his life to helping people reconnect with their innate capacity for wellness and vitality.

His work spans human factors engineering at McDonnell-Douglas, holistic health consulting in Beverly Hills and Santa Monica, and teaching roles at institutions including UCLA Extension, the Acupressure Institute in Berkeley, and the Pritikin Longevity Center. His expertise includes Voice Dialogue, Chinese medicine, acupressure, longevity science, spiritual healing, and the psychology of the self.

Paul’s studies with leading healers, spiritual teachers, and scientists shaped his belief that true health requires a deep integration of mind, body, and spirit. His book, “Joy is… 365 Keys to Longevity,” became an international bestseller and reflects his core message: that joy is not just a byproduct of well-being—it’s the source of it.

Paul believes JOYELY is the right solution for this moment in history. As the world navigates mental health crises, burnout, and emotional disconnection, he sees JOYELY’s structured approach to emotional awareness as both timely and necessary. For Paul, the Joy Intelligence framework is more than a tool—it is a path to restore what many have lost: the joy of living. He views JOYELY as a movement capable of transforming lives through simplicity, science, and human connection.
