Dive into the book
Chapters are thematic explorations that often span different topics and weave together journal entries, drawings, and reflections into larger stories or inquiries — like Happy ApE, Perspective, or Practice. Think of chapters as evolving essays or journeys-in-progress that reveal how ideas unfold over time. Each chapter acts as a thread that ties together related content across the archive.
The Topics section offers a broad overview of the key themes explored throughout the Happy ApE project. Topics act as entry points for exploration, connecting ideas, drawings, and reflections across the site. They help you find what speaks to you, whether you're here for visual inspiration, thoughtful inquiry, or lived experience - Art, Philosophy, Life.
Philosophy
Life
The Writers section introduces the inner voices behind the work — parts of the self who take turns holding the pen. From The Philosopher asking life’s big questions, to The Parent offering warmth and care, or The Escapist grappling with shadows, each writer brings a unique lens to the page.
