Hello Rocky,

How can I be happy?

Rocky Responds:

The short answer: cable.

The long answer:  A bag of cheese puffs and a sixer of Pabst.  And cable.

The scientific answer:  Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar teaches a popular course at Harvard that explains how people can craft their lives to achieve that ever-elusive state we call HAPPINESS.  The seminal midlife website LifeTwo is deconstructing Dr. Ben-Shahar and his best -selling text " Happier" all this week.  They've gone so far as to declare this "Happiness Week."  The HelloRocky Team likes Happiness Week because it augments, rather than replaces, the regularly scheduled things that we enjoy so much - i.e. Monday Night Football, twofer Tuesday on  classic rock radio, etc.

Check out LifeTwo, Derek, and turn that frown upside down.
