Interdisciplinary Psychology:

Beth - Good job on pointing out the main ideas of the book.  I would agree with you that two of the "jewels" of the book were the section of subjective well-being with reference to Cummings quote and also the the portion on suffering.  I also appreciate your candidness of your thoughts on this book.  It always interests me how one person can find a booking appealing/interesting and another doesn't.  I did enjoy the book but I can also understand it when you said it was very dry.  However, looking on the positive side you did find two gems in it!
