No, no: it's *Science*!

Apparently good old common sense and a whole lot of "Chicken Soup For The Disillusioned Society's Soul" is now being labelled as a "scientific" approach to happiness.

Give me a break. This isn't science. It's an Oprah's Top Ten List of How To Be A Happy And Fulfilled American (though I do note that they encourage one to get involved in one's church or mosque, which amuses me for some reason).

There's nothing new in this list. Heck, even Matthieu has such a self-help book with the same principles! The whole spirituality aspect is in his book too.

It amuses me how many books of the kind are published, and they all say the same thing, there's never anyhting new in them, and yet more and more of them are published...Note that I'm not dissing the books, or the principles, just that there's such a proliferation of them.

Oh, the principles are fine, I agree. Heck, I use some of them and they work quite well. I just love that it's being touted as this brand-new "scientific" method (where's the science, I ask?) which has Never Before Been Revealed To Man. :P

This is news, why? Look closely at my icon. This is kind of how I've choosen to live my life. A little crazy, but most always happy. :P

I don't know why it's news. It's non-news. Maybe even anti-news. I dunno.

I like how your icon lives: it's a little like how I live, too. :)
