===Sources and types=== The causes of joy have been ascribed to various sources. Ingrid Fetell Lee has studied the sources of joy. She wrote the book ''Joyful: The Surprising Power of Ordinary Things to Create Extraordinary Happiness'',<ref>{{Cite book|last=Lee|first=Ingrid Fetell|title=Joyful: The Surprising Power of Ordinary Things to Create Extraordinary Happiness}}</ref> and gave a TED talk on the subject, titled "Where joy hides and how to find it."<ref name=":1">{{Citation|last=Lee|first=Ingrid Fetell|title=Where joy hides and how to find it|date=21 May 2018 |url=https://www.ted.com/talks/ingrid_fetell_lee_where_joy_hides_and_how_to_find_it|language=en|access-date=2 October 2020}}</ref> In it, she discusses the importance of finding joy and understanding what it means. Fetell poses the question of “What is joy?”, and answers it by presenting the idea that the emotion of joy is found in many places, it's true importance is in how it is “elusive” and “mysterious”. She states that joy comes from within, and it can be found everywhere. She goes on to sum up this feeling as “Joy is connected to our fundamental instinct of survival”. According to her, “Each moment of joy is small. But over time they add up to the sum of their parts.” Joy is most commonly found through engagement, self-connection, and living in the moment.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/explorations-in-positive-psychology/202310/experiencing-your-multiple-domains-of-joy|title=Experiencing Your Multiple Domains of Joy|author=Bruce Wilson|publisher=Psychology Today|date=October 23, 2023}}</ref><ref name="Sima" /><ref name="Lowry">{{cite journal |last1=Lowry |first1=Ca |last2=Lightman |first2=Sl |last3=Nutt |first3=Dj |title=That warm fuzzy feeling: brain serotonergic neurons and the regulation of emotion |journal=Journal of Psychopharmacology |date=June 2009 |volume=23 |issue=4 |pages=392–400 |doi=10.1177/0269881108099956|pmid=19074539 |s2cid=1128746 }}</ref>
