I guess most of us are just looking for some level of balance - a good way to use this in class might be comparing Daniel Suelo and the Fortune 500 list of people and asking in which ways the different people attain happiness.+ Happy B-day Dave!

Most universities (I think) now require logging in in their labs, so I think libraries are probably the best bet here. By the way, Chris, I really like your blog. The tone is great, and really engaging! Interesting!
