Resistance may explain the circular pattern you can’t seem to break #happiness
Do you sometimes feel like you are stubbornly repeating the same pattern in your life, eg jumping between jobs, people, places, where each scenario ends similarly to the previous one, and you understand that this is not working out, that you … Continue reading

Another fascinating talk from the Science of Happiness programme on edX. Megan Feldman looks at the act of not forgiving, of holding to one’s grudges as an act of committing violence, to oneself or the world. What impact does non forgiveness … Continue reading

Emilie Wapnick: why some of us don’t have one true calling #happiness
I’ve just discovered that my search for one passion, one big goal, one purpose my whole life was futile and unnecessary. I am not lost, I am just different. Suddenly all limits are removed and everything is possible. This is … Continue reading
What is making you happy?
There are lots of things that make me happy at the moment. Fall. I used to take it rather unwell – fall used to signify the end of summer, chills to the bone, greyness and death. These days ‘September is … Continue reading

We all have an obligation to be happy
I watched ‘Hector and the search for happiness’ yesterday. A very inspirational and thought provoking story. Spot on casting, the British actor playing the main character adds vulnerability and lifelikeness, although I may be biased. Overall, I hope more movies … Continue reading
How to find my life’s purpose? #happiness
My thinking on the subject progressed from reading Viktor Frankl’s book and desperately trying to find that elusive ‘life goal’, from being jealous of geniuses and people who knew their passion, who knew what they wanted to do with their … Continue reading
How much money do you need to be happy?

How rich do you feel now? #happiness
I woke up. I exercised. I am finally feeling better after a vicious cold. It’s a long weekend here in the UK. I am listening to an album I found on iTunes yesterday, Soviet Central Asia Music (1930-1950). I found … Continue reading
Art therapy- Agnes Lefevre on Saatchi #smile #happiness
Mmm, art that is good enough to eat 🙂 Les Macarons and Les poires by Agnes Lefevre put a smile on my face. The touch with ancient vases is very stylish imho. Off to have a pear now! Have a nice weekend!

Are you happy, right now, right here? Spring only happens once
I have been quiet for a bit. I had a very Mad Men’esque exit from my agency job, so that took some time and energy. The good news is I am very happy, I am at home, and not starting a … Continue reading

If Werner Herzog wrote a birthday card…
As you may know, I love film. One of my favourite directors is Werner Herzog. He happens to be one of the favourite directors of a good friend of mine, whose birthday it was recently. Inspired by his lovely partner, … Continue reading
