The author of The Happiness Project uncovers a surprising path to a life filled with energy, creativity, and love by tuning into the five senses. After over a decade of studying happiness, a visit to her eye doctor led her to realize she had been neglecting a crucial aspect of joy: her senses. This revelation pulled her from a fog of preoccupation into a vibrant world enriched by seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and touching. Through self-experimentation, she delves into the mysteries and joys of the senses as a route to a more mindful existence. By integrating insights from science, philosophy, and literature, along with her personal experiences, she reveals the profound impact of engaging with the physical world. From appreciating the simple pleasure of ketchup to creating rituals like visiting the Met and attending Flavor University, she illustrates how to experience daily life with depth and connection. Amidst the hustle of everyday life, our senses provide immediate, sustainable ways to uplift our spirits, calm our minds, and engage with the world, offering glimpses into the soul and the transcendent. This narrative is a rich exploration filled with insights and practical advice on enhancing our sensory experiences to lead fuller, more vibrant lives.
