Ingrid Fetell Lee on How Ordinary Things Can Create Extraordinary Happiness

We are made to believe that joy must be earned, that it is to be experienced only in certain conditions, and that it comes from inner strivings. But what if joy were the very basis of our being, and what if there were simple things in our outer environment that we could tap to infuse our everyday moments with joy? Is joy a very personal pursuit, or are there universal principles across humanity for how we can activate joy? How can we transform our institutions, workplaces and public spaces to maximize the joy we experience from being part of them? Find out from Ingrid Fetell Lee, designer, author and leading researcher on the subject of joy, in a stimulating conversation with Prof. Hitendra Wadhwa, exclusively on Intersections.
