Ingrid Fetell Lee
“I noticed a quote scribbled on a chalkboard that I hadn’t seen on the way in. It was from a play by Oscar Wilde: THE SECRET OF LIFE IS TO APPRECIATE THE PLEASURE OF BEING TERRIBLY, TERRIBLY DECEIVED.”
Ingrid Fetell Lee, Joyful: The Surprising Power of Ordinary Things to Create Extraordinary Happiness

Ingrid Fetell Lee
“This is important because research shows that we’re attracted to environments with a moderately high degree of complexity, but only if the complexity is well structured. The greater the complexity in an environment, the greater the need for an underlying harmony to bring a sense of order and ease to a space.”
Ingrid Fetell Lee, Joyful: The Surprising Power of Ordinary Things to Create Extraordinary Happiness

“serious?” I believe we unconsciously abide by this principle because our notion of work is rooted in an industrial economy that values efficiency and structure at the expense of joy and creativity.”
Ingrid Fetell Lee, Joyful: The Surprising Power of Ordinary Things to Create Extraordinary Happiness

Bessel van der Kolk
“For now I want to emphasize that emotion is not opposed to reason; our emotions assign value to experiences and thus are the foundation of reason. Our self-experience is the product of the balance between our rational and our emotional brains. When these two systems are in balance, we “feel like ourselves.”
Bessel van der Kolk, The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma

Ingrid Fetell Lee
“Now I recognize that burnout often has as much boredom in it as exhaustion.”
Ingrid Fetell Lee, Joyful: The Surprising Power of Ordinary Things to Create Extraordinary Happiness
