How to Train a Wild Elephant



Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish. This feature was created because we are particularly fond of lists here at The Broke and the Bookish. We'd love to share our lists with other bookish folks and would LOVE to see your top ten lists!

Each week we will post a new Top Ten list that one of our bloggers here at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone is welcome to join. All we ask is that you link back to The Broke and the Bookish on your own Top Ten Tuesday post AND add your name to the Linky widget so that everyone can check out other bloggers lists! If you don't have a blog, just post your answers as a comment. Have fun with it! It's a fun way to get to know your fellow bloggers.

    Happiness is a class I would take! That reading list looks fun, and I'm curious about Flow. I had to go take a look. Several of these look good, actually- and I imagine after this class one would be happier, how could you not?

    Have a great week.

    I think you'd be a great happiness teacher- I didn't realise that there were quite so many happiness books.

    I liked the Happiness Project. I read another good one on the happiest countries on earth.

    I have only read The Happiness Project but I am very curious about how to train a wild elephant. I think a happiness class would be awesome!

    What a fantastic idea for a class! I read and really enjoyed The Happiness Project but the others are new to me. Adding them to my TBR!

    What a terrific list. I am also so impressed you've read 10 books on happiness. I think I will try to read one of them.

    I've heard of The Happiness Project too but not the others. I think this would be a wonderful class to take.

    This is a great take on this topic! And I have not read a single one of those books. I've heard of several of them. So, where do we sign up for your happiness course, Deb? LOL

    This is an interesting list and I would have Flow at the top of my personal list. I'm not sure if I could come up with ten, but I would include Jonathan Haidt's The Happiness Hypothesis as one for its considerations of the nature of happiness.
