Publisher's Summary
Random House presents the audiobook edition of Joyful, written and read by Ingrid Fetell Lee.
Have you ever wondered why we stop to watch the orange glow of a sunset or flock to see cherry blossoms in the spring?
We are often made to feel that the physical world has little or no impact on our inner joy. Increasingly, experts urge us to find balance and calm by looking inward – through mindfulness or meditation – and muting the outside world. But what if the natural vibrancy of our surroundings is actually our most renewable and easily accessible source of joy?
In Joyful, designer Ingrid Fetell Lee, whose TED talk has been viewed over 1 million times, explores how the seemingly mundane spaces and objects we interact with every day have surprising and powerful effects on our mood. Drawing on insights from neuroscience and psychology, as well as design, she explains why one setting makes us feel anxious or competitive while another fosters delight and sharing – and, most important, she reveals how we can harness the power of our surroundings to live fuller, healthier and truly joyful lives.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Fabulously Refreshing and Reconnective
Fabulous refreshing book. Ingrid has a lovely, easily absorbed voice. Her descriptions of joy are awe inspiring.
I was needing something that I could listen to while I worked. Something to assist me in reconnecting to my peaceful inner self.
Great listen/read.

A joy to listen to
It always makes a difference hearing the author read their book. This one is particularly important because you can hear Ingrid smile as she speaks about her experiences.
As an architect I found this incredibly valuable and hope to use the insights I’ve found as much as possible.
