One Dilbert Blog reader noted that current research shows that happiness causes success more than success causes happiness. That makes sense to me. There's plenty of research about people having a baseline of happiness that doesn't vary much with circumstances. And given that happy people are typically optimistic, energetic, and fun to work with, I can see how happiness would lead to success.

I'm curious how you'll know it works. I assume it's mostly a cosmetic change.

The best you can hope for in this life is that your delusions are benign and your compulsions have utility.

Needing someone is like needing a parachute. If they are not there the first time you need them, chances are you won't be needing them again.

E-books are impervious to analogy.

Everybody is somebody's else's weirdo

The human mind is a delusion generator, not a window to trurh.
