May 7th, 7 pm - 9 pm - The Happiness Myth by Jennifer Hecht
From Amazon.ca
Adding to the recent spate of happiness books, Hecht, proves a beguiling writer blessed with a most agile mind. She
skillfully confronts modern assumptions about what it means to be
happy, investigating four factors frequently involved in
happiness--drugs, money, bodies, and celebration--historically in
sections on the wisdom of happiness through the ages, "good" and "bad"
drugs and telling the difference, the relationship of money and
happiness, the physicality of the body, and the ritual of celebration.
