Truth – Is It Really True?
How often do we mistake something we've believed for years for something we actually know to be true?

Things I've been thinking about.
I have always been curious about why we do what we do, the stories we tell ourselves and the things we come to believe are true.
Writing gives me somewhere to explore those thoughts.
Not necessarily to find an answer, but sometimes simply to look again.
I don't write because I have everything worked out.
Quite often, I write because I haven't.
A thought catches my attention. Something happens in a conversation. I notice myself reacting in a familiar way, or an idea I have believed for years suddenly looks different.
Writing gives me the opportunity to stay with it for a while.
And sometimes, in putting something into words, another perspective appears.

The Happiness Myth(s)
Some questions stay with us for a long time.
My book, The Happiness Myth(s), grew from my curiosity about happiness — what we think will make us happy, the expectations we inherit and the ways we can spend our lives pursuing something without ever really questioning what it means to us.
The writing may have ended when the book was published.
The questioning didn't.
