Minimalism is killing us: Re-awaken your senses, bring back joy
Design affects us in more ways than we are consciously aware, and we may be designing a path into depression that dates all the way back to a rather odd op-ed from 1810. And even though today's minimalism aesthetic may have been born earnestly out of cultural overstimulation, it's actually stressing us out by depriving us of joy. Design expert Ingrid Fetell Lee sits down with us for a fascinating talk on the nature of minimalism, and how we can design our way back to happiness. Ingrid's new book is Joyful: The Surprising Power of Ordinary Things to Create Extraordinary Happiness.
