Just finished reading the " Happiness " on-line book posted by a few

weeks ago. (http://www.gethappy.net/bookhm.htm) A good read.

Also emphasizes relationships, especially being married in a good solid

partnership for happiness (amd we've all heard that marriage/happiness helps

one be healthier).

The trick is for one mentally healthy person to marry another mentally

healthy person for a happy marriage. And since he says that there just

aren't that many mentally healthy people around, that's why we have so many

unhappy marriages and 60% divorce rate in the U.S. Also marry someone like

you: opposites may attract, but they don't stay happy for long.

Discusses other factors that lead to happiness including " thinking " yourself

happy, smile more, and other shortcuts. The on-line book is very long.

But I took extensive notes and can e-mail to anyone who sends me a request,

OFF LIST please.
