Here’s an analogy. The book Joyful: The Surprising Power of Ordinary Things To Create Extraordinary Happiness by Ingrid Fetell Lee is to the book A Pattern Language as a gifted baby sister is to a talented older brother.
In other words, they’re both from the same family. The Aesthetics. Lee is, after all, the founder of the blog The Aesthetics of Joy.
Where A Pattern Language concerned itself with the aesthetics of large common spaces, architecture, and city design, Joyful by Ingrid Fetell Lee (find her TED talk here) is scaled smaller. Even to the bangle upon your wrist. Because fractals. Because fashion psychology is a thing.
Joyful “brings you ideas and tools for living a more joyful life backed by scientific research” and celebrates “the power of color, light, pattern, and shape to create a happier, healthier world.”
