You may also not realize that there are things that are universally joyful. Things like balloons and bubbles and bright colors bring joy to virtually everyone. Ingrid Fetell Lee is an expert on design and joy and has a blog called The Aesthetics of Joy (https://aestheticsofjoy.com) . She is also author of the book Joyful: The Surprising Power of Ordinary Things to Create Extraordinary Happiness (https://amzn.to/3a4f8GM).
