January 22, they call it “Blue Monday.” Scientists in England have dubbed this day “blue” by coming up with a mathematical equation as to why so many people feel particularly down on January 22 over any other. You can read more about their reasoning in the Portsmouth (UK) News. What better way to counteract gloom and melancholy than with a dose of happiness! For your reading pleasure the library has just acquired the book, Happiness: a history (170 MCM), where it states “happiness has been equated regularly with the highest human calling, the most perfect human state.” In addition, you will also find in the Pescosolido collection under “happiness”, Dahn Meditation: a spiritual exercise to perfect health and happiness (181.45 HEU), Authentic Happiness: using the new positive psychology to realize your potential for lasting fulfillment (158 SEL), The Art of Happiness: a handbook for living (294.3 LAM), and The Architecture of Happiness (720.103 DEB). Lastly, to help you fight the Monday blues, visit the Authentic Happiness website, or the Resources of the Happiness Foundation. Don’t worry this blue Monday will pass.
