5.0

I have been reading about "happiness" and "fun" for about 15 years, ever since a really low point in my life. This is one of the 3 most important books I have ever read, period, because now I have a model that fits exactly with my ups and downs and a clear understanding of how to manage and even steer them successfully. IN PARTICULAR, her theory that "status" (essentially [as I understand the author] exercising control over how you're treated) is the opposite of depression was a eureka moment for me. Her other titles are "Meet Your Happy Chemicals" and "Beyond Cynical". Do yourself a huge favour and read all 3.
