The science of surrounding yourself with joy Dopamine decor, as this movement has come to be known, isn’t simply about aesthetic choices—it’s about cultivating environments that genuinely elevate your mood....

For those who missed the cultural memo, Mark Manson’s best-selling book obliterated the “toxic positivity” movement. Instead of polishing every struggle with a gratitude journal, he said: Life is hard, most things aren’t fair, and we all have limited energy—so spend it wisely. It was a revelation for a generation raised on participation trophies and dream boards. Fast-forward to today, and the backlash against performative positivity isn’t just about eye rolls anymore....
