In her book, Joyful: The Surprising Power of Ordinary Things to Create Extraordinary Happiness, and as founder of the blog The Aesthetics of Joy, she reveals the powerful. I was riveted by what she had to say and went on to purchase her book, Joyful: The Surprising Power of Ordinary Things to Create Extraordinary Happiness, which did not disappoint. Ingrid Fetell Lee’s work occupies a truly unique space, situated at the intersection between design, neuroscience, and psychology. I first came upon Ingrid’s work when a friend shared her TED talk video with me, “ Where Joy Hides and How to Find it”. This book review examines Ingrid Fetell Lees book Joyful, which articulates the ten components of an aesthetics of joy. Which is why I could not be more honored to host today’s guest, Ingrid Fetell Lee. What if pursuing more joyful living practices were just as important to our health as the food we eat and the exercise we do? What if we could maintain some of the joyful living magic that we find during the holiday season, throughout the rest of the year? She spoke in the 2019 session The Surprising Power of Joy. Her TED talk, Where Joy Hides and How to Find It, has been viewed over 17 million times. Which, is super timely considering that there is a heightened spirit of joy in the air around the holiday season. Lee’s work is informed by more than twelve years of experience in design and branding, most recently as design director at IDEO. We have been doing a deep dive into the topic, “ The Practice of Joyful Living”, all month.
