Joyful : the surprising power of ordinary things to create extraordinary happiness
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references and index.

"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? 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 ... But what if the natural vibrancy of our surroundings is actually our most renewable and easily accessible source of joy?"--Dust jacket flap.
