In Joyful, designer Ingrid Fetell Lee explores how the seemingly mundane spaces and objects we interact with every day have surprising and powerful effects on our mood.
But what if the natural vibrancy of our surroundings is actually our most renewable and easily accessible source of joy? Increasingly, experts urge us to find balance and calm by looking inward-through mindfulness or meditation-and muting the outside world. We are often made to feel that the physical world has little or no impact on our inner joy. Have you ever wondered why we stop to watch the orange glow that arrives before sunset, or why we flock to see cherry blossoms bloom in spring? Is there a reason that people-regardless of gender, age, culture, or ethnicity-are mesmerized by baby animals, and can't help but smile when they see a burst of confetti or a cluster of colorful balloons? "This book has the power to change everything! Writing with depth, wit, and insight, Ingrid Fetell Lee shares all you need to know in order to create external environments that give rise to inner joy." -Susan Cain, author of Quiet and founder of Quiet Revolution Next Big Idea Club selection-chosen by Malcolm Gladwell, Susan Cain, Dan Pink, and Adam Grant as one of the "two most groundbreaking new nonfiction reads of the season!"
