Writing Exercise #3

Watch Malcolm Gladwell's TED Talk "Choice, Happiness, and Spaghetti Sauce"

What connection do you see between Dan Gilbert's talk and Malcolm Gladwell's?  Are they opposite views on a similar subject or the same views just approached differently?

Happy Spring Break.

If you're interested in pursuing the subject of happiness a little further over spring break, you can watch a documentary about happiness called Happy.  It's available on Netflix instant streaming.  Here's a Preview.

You can also read about happiness.  Dan Gilbert's book, Stumbling on Happiness, is available at the Brownsville Public Library.  Some of Malcolm Gladwell's books, though not strictly about happiness, are also available for checkout.  Happy Reading.   :)

Of course, for those of you who actually read this blog, I will provide some extra credit options if you do read any of these selections or watch the documentary.  If you find a different book about happiness (there are a few others at the library or you can find some where books are sold--consider Gretchen Rubin's The Happiness Project),  feel free to read one of those.
