The Joie Journal

Bring that je ne sais quoi to the everyday with The Journal of Joie. Paris-based author Ajiri Aki has always embraced that French joie de vivre, the idea that all aspects of life can be made more enjoyable, and with this journal she teaches readers to cultivate a mindset around joie. Whether it's buying yourself flowers, finding ways to slow down and savor, hosting a small gathering, or taking a trip down memory lane, this journal provides small challenges that will help you bring more joy into every aspect of life. Rather than leaning into toxic positivity and asking you to find happiness in retrospect, the journal encourages you to take action and bring joy to you in the moment. Divided into sections based on different aspects of your life, the journal offers inspiring essays and helpful prompts for bringing more joy into your self-care, gatherings with friends, workday, and more.
