I'm reading a book just now called "The Happiness Project" and I'm finding it to be very interesting. I'm not usually into these "self help" books and when I have occasionally dipped into them I have found them boring and predictable. However this one was recommended on one of the blogs that I read, and it appeals to me because it's quite chatty and thoughtful. The author spends a year trying to improve her happiness in different areas of her life. Her justification of this possibly selfish sounding objective is that happy people make the people around them happy too. Not that I think of myself as an unhappy person, but the author has an answer to that too - if you improve your happiness levels you are sort of banking happiness for the future. Now I'm not at all sure it works like that! It's all very plausible though and I'm enjoying reading it.
This evening Ally has finally completed his CV to apply for jobs during his gap year. For an intelligent boy he has taken an unfeasible amount of time to do this, however he has now been able to use it to apply for three jobs online and he is exhausted.
