Joyful | Ingrid Fetell Lee
Why it is included:
The "Mental Health Infrastructure."
Lee, a former design director at IDEO, proves that "Joy" is not an abstract vibe; it is a tangible resource triggered by specific environmental cues (color, light, symmetry).
We include this to remind the leader that they are an architect of experience.
It teaches us to build "Joyful Infrastructure"—environments that physically recharge the soul—proving that beauty is not a luxury, but a functional requirement for human thriving.
Sleep Well, Take Risks, Squish the Peas | Hasan Merali
Why it is here:
The accessible wisdom of the beginner.
Dr. Merali argues that toddlers are actually the world’s best learners, risk-takers, and sleepers, and that we "unlearned" their natural genius.
We include this to lighten the shelf. It provides a scientifically backed but playful path to Regaining flourishing Naturalism.
It reminds the leader that "Authenticity" isn't something you have to build; it's something you simply have to remember. It balances the heavy philosophy with practical, joyful simplicity.
