so here's a book on Econ and happiness that I'm reading...
It's called Happiness and Economics, by Frey and Stutzer (two Swiss economists) and its available on Princeton University Press.
Enjoy!

Or are you sad?
Sadness, as is happiness, is a subjective state of mind, triggered I believe by oneself. You make yourself miserable, circumstances don't. Although adversity may be knocking on your door, you can choose the way you face it.
Have you ever thought your situation couldn't be worse? Dear reader, if you are reading this post it means you have access to Internet, and hence to communication and to electricity; and probably to running water, three daily meals, a roof, transportation, clothing, etc. Many people in Pakistan or in Ghana don't have access to these privileges of the modern world.
So if you lost your job, your significant other, crashed your car, are sick, etc. there is probably someone who is faring worse than you are.
Lance Armstrong chose to face his testicular cancer, and after he overcame it, he became the most winning ever cyclist of the Tour de France. Micheal Jordan was told he could never play basketball. Barack Obama is the son of a Kenyan immigrant.

Take advantage of every minute. Live your life. take joy in your children, your marriage, your income, your religion, your health (or lack there of); don't take anything too seriously.
