Here, read an exclusive excerpt from Spiegel’s book, where she provides a brief introduction to the concept of “microjoys”—and begins to explain how they take hold in everyday life.—and stay tuned for more details on how to watch a special conversation between Spiegel and Rachel Wilkerson Miller, SELF editor in chief, on March 27 at 1 p.m. EST.I’ve only ever known impermanence. It taught me that though life may be fleeting and fragile, it is equally stunning and profound in its precariousness.
Here, you’ll find a short introduction to the concept I call “microjoys,” including what they are, where they come from, and how to use them.Microjoys aren’t small. Instead, they are easily accessible, and they don’t require that we reach too far from where we are to discern them.

, microjoys grant us permission to seek out tiny, beautiful things without guilt or having to stretch to access them. We all deserve such grace.Happiness, though appealing, is a fleeting outward expression of what we feel, while microjoys are internal. They are immediately attainable, intentional, and deliberate—transcending temporary circumstances to buoy us. With practice, microjoys become a way of living, an alternative to toxic positivity and the cynicism of the everyday.
