Oh, Jatfla, have I got the thing for you. Dennis Prager does a happiness hour every friday, where he talks about happiness. Below is a link to last friday's show. If you do not get his show in your area, then you can listen free here.

I hope you enjoy it. I find Prager to be very enlightening. If you have trouble finding his happiness hours, they are usually on friday during hour 2 (h2). You should be able to access a few weeks worth if you like.

Happiness increases with age because as you get older your mind starts to go, so you just think you're happier.

Happiness increases because you finally realize all those things you thought were soooo important really aren't!!
