Davisville, April 15, 2024: Happiness in spite of the problems of the world

Mon, 04/15/2024 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

Smile.jpeg

In Harboring Happiness: 101 Ways to be Happy, author Dan Brook says happiness is worth pursuing despite all the awful things happening across the globe. He bases this on research and on what he has learned during his decades as an instructor and sociologist (he earned master’s and doctorate degrees in sociology from UC Davis in the 1990s).

So how do you become happier? You probably have to work at it. His suggestions range from “getting more experiences,” and feeling gratitude, to “being around people who make you happy” and converting the fear of missing out into the joy of missing out.

“I’m happy not because I ignore the problems of the world, but in spite of them,” he says. Work to fix what’s wrong, but “being miserable does not help solve those problems.” He elaborates on his ideas during today’s Davisville.

Oh, yes, it's almost time for Divine Intervention, a pleasant assault to the senses, with much new music in the indie-ish vein, including the latest from the Libertines, Phosphorescent, the Bevis Frond, the Old 97's, and even the Jesus & Mary Chain — plus April's Goddess of the Month and a Vinyl Vespers spin — yikes!
