One of my favorite stories in the book is about Tirana, Albania, during the fall of 2000. Most importantly, she reveals how we can harness the power of our surroundings to live fuller, healthier, and truly joyful lives.

Have you ever wondered why we stop to watch the orange glow that arrives before sunset, or why we flock to see cherry blossoms bloom in spring? Is there a reason that people, regardless of gender, age, culture, or ethnicity, are mesmerized by baby animals and can't help but smile when they see a burst of confetti or a cluster of colorful balloons?
