The best kind of nonfiction: filled with facts and written in such an enjoyable way. My book is filled with colorful and joyful page flags!!! I loved they way Lee broke down this emotion into various lenses. And the cover was immensely pleasing on my nightstand.

Did the book get less interesting in the last few chapters or did I get less interested? She lost be around balloon time, but I really loved the first 2/3.

Listened to the audio version, read by the author. Bursting with different ideas on how to bring joy through ordinary objects and reasons why. For example, round things bring us joy because they’re connected to new life (baby cheeks, big eyes).

Read this in one day and I know it will stay with me. The writer has many original ideas on how to hunt and trap more joy in daily life. It’s difficult to find original things to say about happiness but I reckon she’s done it here.

First half reads fast, the second half drags on. Overall just an okay book but not a must read.

This book was very different than what I expected it to be. I thought it would cover the "aesthetics of joy" which Lee has found, and then illustrate how to bring these into our own lives. Not so much, though it took an interesting path that I still enjoyed.
