Today in my English 123 (Composition) classes at SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design), I started a new daily segment I’m calling “Dr. Saye’s Top Ten Happiness Questions.” In my courses this term, the students and I are examining the Popular Psychology concept of Happiness Studies. We are reading Harvard professor Tal Ben-Shahar’s Happier: Learn the Secrets to Daily Joy and Lasting Fulfillment and Paulo Coelho’s incredibly bestselling novel/fable, The Alchemist.
And we’re having So Much Fun.

“JUST HOW IMPORTANT IS IT?”
If you want to live a life of joy, your answer may be that it’s really not all that important.
Ask it the next time somebody pulls in front of you in traffic.
Choose Joy.
