I think the limitations (and the political implications) are also very interesting. I highly recommend Daniel Gilbert's "Stumbling Into Happiness," and the book "Flow" has been extremely important to me.Ann Althousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01630636239933008807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-1152033689166273562006-07-04T12:21:00.000-05:002006-07-04T12:21:00.000-05:00Sorry, Paco.
