Money Can’t Buy Happiness

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

New York City is ranked last in happiness. NYC is all about the Benjamins; all about “Cash is King”; and when the world changed, people became unhappy and angry. Money can’t buy happiness. This is so true.

Read this article in the New York Times. Click on the surveys within.

My book The Business of Happiness ships in February. If you agree with this survey and article, I think you will like reading my book.

This is a good one. Watch it if you grew up in NYC or you live there now. There are really terrific interviews with many celebs. I really enjoyed this film. You will too.

Sit In and Strike

Thursday, September 17th, 2009

I am in NYC at a ritzy hotel. I just checked in and the employees are all on strike chanting “Scab! Scab! Scab!” as a manager helped check me in at registration. About 300 employees are chanting and yelling ”Power to the people!” and they have blocked all entrances at the hotel.

The union leader has a megaphone. This is a scene right out of the 60’s. Instead of turning me off, I will come here all of the time. “Power to the people! Ride on! We shall overcome!” This is too cool.

Mind-blowing
