Nice pictures. There is a definite constistency to the set, but I can't quite put my finger on it. "Peace and harmony" - but how that is technially expressed in terms of what layout/symmetry/colours/subject/etc. I don't know. No doubt someone somewhere has written /is writing an AI to answer "What do all these pictures have in common?"

The very book you (and possibly Andrew) are looking for-- Joyful: The Surprising Power of Ordinary Things to Create Extraordinary Happiness.

It includes discussion of what makes people happy, including bright colors, circular patterns, a sense of abundance... Not all the qualities have to be present, and some are inconsistent with each other, but the whole thing is right, I think.
