Interesting article in the Jan 7, 2008 Washington Post about happiness.
A couple of excerpts:
"When you don't understand why a bad thing happened, it is worse. When you don't understand why a good thing happened, it's better."
"I always thought love causes marriage, but my data said marriage causes love," he said. "When you lock yourself in something you cannot get out of, you will find ways to be happier. . . . I do love my wife more than I loved my girlfriend, and they are the same person."

About Me

- Some people imagine that I'm a bohemian mystic who lives outside the system and disdains conventional wisdom. That's half-true. I'm also a disciplined artist with a fondness for analytical thinking and a commitment to self mastery.
