About this listen
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.

Interesting but....
This was a nice listen, but was very very repetitive and slow, which made listening all the way through almost impossible.

Beautiful Book
I really enjoyed this book it is a joy to listen to, the author has a lovely voice. Everytime I listened to it I had a big smile on my face. I will purchase the hardback as I had it from the library and it too is joyful to look at and read from. Beautiful work, we need more books like this.

A pleasant and informative deep dive into the design of joy
I really enjoyed this book. It dives deep into a lot of things in our day to day life that we can get joy from. As a designer, it got me thinking about ways I can incorporate these things into my work and life. It changed my view on the world around me and the joyful things in everyday life that I’d taken for granted. A very inspiring and uplifting read!
