Psychological barriers to the pursuit of happiness

Why aren’t we happy? Why do we tend to think that “we would have been happier if…”? And does this pursuit of external happiness, which seems sometimes to fail even for people who are billionaires, constitute an obstacle to reaching actual happiness? Before you think you landed on a New Age, “life bliss” blog, think again. We are so sure, most of the time, of the fact we know what would make us happy - but if we are not supremely happy already, shouldn’t we be skeptical about our ability to judge what really has the potential to bring us happiness?

How things are going…

School is over. It’d better be, after five years of undergrad + co-op. So the time has come for me to put my hands on this website, write some posts, fill in the pages…and figure out the back end. While I try to figure out something really interesting to talk about, I am going to pick some science news for you (from Science Daily).
