I’ve spent the last couple of months studying Happiness and Love.  I’ve read books like The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch, The Power of Kindness by Piero Ferrucci, and Happiness by Matthieu Ricard.  I’ve watched talks from TED, The Entertainment Gathering, Taste3, and other elite conferences.  And I’ve tried (rather unsuccessfully) to curb my road rage, be kinder to my mother, to care more deeply about my friends, and to be nicer to myself.

And then I saw this video featuring Comedian Louis CK on Conan last week (see video at right) – and it hit me.  As much as we all say we want happiness, when it comes right down to it – we will do anything and everything in our power to ensure that we will NEVER be happy.

So now, I’ve decided to study “Why We Choose to NOT be Happy”.  Would love to hear your thoughts on this issue.
