My Weekly Reminder

In a recent issue of The Wall Street Journal, Robert J. Hughes reviewed a book titled The Geography of Happiness.  The author, Eric Weiner, an NPR correspondent, traveled to a number of countries including Denmark, the Netherlands and Switzerland which were ranked high on happiness by the World Database of Happiness.  His mission was to find out if the people living in these countries were really as happy as the database claims.  According to the review, “What surprised Mr. Weiner in his travels was that many people around the world define happiness in ways that differ sharply from how it is defined by many, if not most Americans.  ‘Here, we work on our physique and personal careers,’ Mr. Weiner says, ‘In large parts of the world, it’s not seen that way; it’s woven into your relationships.'”  The lesson that these happy places have to teach us is that true happiness can’t be achieved by focusing only on ourselves.  Rather it comes from our connection with others–by being with, talking with and doing things for and with others.
