Joyful

My review

I liked this book, but only the first half. The chapters about energy, colours, and abundance are especially inspiring. There are many references to amazing artists and architects that I enjoyed googling and discovering more about. I also appreciated the author’s advice on how to apply the stories to our daily lives. Also, I found this paragraph particularly interesting:

”Why to be serious do things have to look 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.

The second half was boring, unfortunately. I didn’t find the three last chapters added much to the book, and I didn’t see the point of them.
