And so I go online to look for a picture of the current book and here it is!
Some how on the Blue Zones website they only have one photo of the book, and it is a combo pic of both books together. I am reading the one on the right. It is really, really interesting stuff. And while I was over at the Blue Zones website I took their happiness quiz, to see how truly happy I am in my current surroundings and such.
I got a B+!!!!
Not too bad! Their recommendations were that I get outdoors more often (I don't know about that, because outdoors here means suffering greatly with horrible allergies for weeks after just one excursion) and that I stop watching so much t.v. (Well, of course I saw THAT one coming!!)
Check it out and please, feel free to come back and report on your happiness findings and which areas they recommend some adjustments in your life.
I never heard of the book or the website, but I'm always up for a self analytical quiz. :) I got a B+ too! It says I need to:
ReplyDelete1. Pick a pet - I'd LOVE a cat, but we haven't come to an agreement of where the litter box should go
2. Spend smarter - surprised me, because we are very frugal. I guess because I answered we'd be unprepared for a $10,000 emergency?
3. Hang out with happy people - Also surprising, but I'm an introvert and have a very small circle of close friends. And I'm happy with that.
4. See the sun - Another surprising recommendation! I checked the box that I spend 4-6 hours outside a week. I think that's a lot!
But whatever. :) Interesting site, quiz, and recommendations (interesting meaning giving me new things to think about and learn :).
I'm so jealous of your Kindle...
Mr. Big Ed just took the quiz and got an A-. How is an A- different than a B+, I ask you? Whatever.
ReplyDeleteAnnie, I love my Kindle. It is one of the big $$ purchases that I don't regret. However, I am now kind of wishing I *also* had the newer little Kindle. It can fit anywhere! But the reason I got the bigger one is for the screen size. Overall, it is not much bigger, but the screen size is almost twice the size as the little one. So there is that.
I love my Kindle, too! I also miss having the stack of books on my nightstand. I get such pleasure looking at what I have to look forward to.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Thank you so much for your kind words and prayers. It meant a lot to me that you were thinking of us.
To be honest, I think B+ sounds better than A- :) A- is so...negative with its little minus sign.
ReplyDeleteMy brother got the little one and loves it because it fits nicely in his pocket when he's on the train to work, but also wishes the screen was bigger.
