Week 4 Reading - Am I Happy?

I think I would like to hear a conversation between Benjamin Zander and Stephen Covey. I'm sure they would both support each other, but I wonder if one would feel the other went too far or not far enough in their exhortations. I have my mission statement from my Habits instruction; I liked how Zander's "visions" create a new aura not just fixes to what is unsatisfying about life. Covey does help establish a more workable and organizd life - Zander seems to point towards a happier life. I watched an inetersting presentation on TED by Harvard psychologist Dan Gilbert about how to start synthesizing happiness. It is worth a look and a thought. Enjoy!

  1. If you really want to mess with your head, add David Allen from "Getting Things Done" fame:

    That would make for a great conversation.
