I’m Still Grateful

I just wanted to share this very quickly because the irony is just too sweet. I mentioned in my last post entitled: had a bad day feeling down two things I was grateful for. One of them was that none of my children are ill, and the other was that my son hasn’t set the [...]

This Is Not A Review Of How To Be Rich And Happy

This not so much a review of the book – I’m not quite ready to do that – It is instead an off the cuff response to a series of comments made on another site. The comments prompted me to examine whether I thought the book could help me get “rich”.
Tim Brownson, wrote an article [...]

How To Find Happiness Now On Twitter

At some stage I will write about what I’m calling “my failure online”, but I already know I didn’t really fail and that thinking about it in such terms isn’t helpful.

Even The Best Self Help Books Are Useless

Although it may appear I’m directing this at you personally, and telling you why self help books don’t work for you, actually I’m addressing myself. I talk about you but really I mean me.

Is The Opposite Of Unhappiness, Happiness?

How to find happiness is a question I’ve asked myself very often over the last ten years and the answer has been somewhat elusive.
