There is a review in this week's issue of PsycCRITIQUES of the following book:
The Levity Effect: Why It Pays to Lighten Up by Adrian Gostick and Scott Christopher Hoboken, NJ: Wiley, 2008. 229 pp. ISBN 978-0-470-19588-8. $22.95 An excerpt from the review by Richard D. Harvey: "In sum, this is a well-written book that makes the business case for why organizations ought to seriously consider adopting levity-related practices and programs." So maybe employers should consider happiness to be a skill. David Kreiner Professor of Psychology University of Central Missouri Lovinger 1111 Warrensburg MO 64093 [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 10/6/2008 10:46 PM >>> Positive psychology made Jay Leno's monologue last night. He said that professors in a lot of colleges are now giving courses in positive psychology, in which they teach students to be happy. And they stay happy, until they graduate, at which point they discover that employers don't consider happiness to be a skill. (rimshot) Chris Green York U.
