"hyperthymia"
Good news in the Sunday morning Times: my favorite living novelist, Richard Powers, has a new book exploring, guess what, happiness.
Jay McInerney isn't wild about passages like “A revolution is afoot, one that looks almost like retooled Lamarck ism, calling into question the centrality of the gene and all the old dogma of fixed inheritance.” But I like 'em fine.
And what if there weren't a happiness gene? No problem, right?
