I know I personally struggle with getting motivated to go out to concerts, plays, etc. and am often tempted to “stay in.” However, when I actually get off my behind and go out, I always have a great time and experience.

That’s a pretty good example of how bad we are at this whole happiness thing.

I read this book about 3 months ago and found it informative and fun. It made me think about how little we understand how to make ourselves happy, and how important it is to be willing to pursue a variety of experiences, even those you think won’t be for you since, as the book explains, what we believe we might not like might in fact be just what we need.

ps. I just read your 30 days on $30 dollars post too. Fascinating and well done for completing it successfully!
