The Happiness Trap: Happiness for the Rest of Us

A frustrated victim of motivational speakers, Arena begins her look at the happiness industry with us while reading The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin. She will take us back to a Millionaire Mind Seminar where her quest to live her dreams brought her to a standstill with debt, legal trouble, and living in her worst nightmare - geographically, even.

Amy Arena holds a B.A. in American Studies from San Francisco State University. A respected actress and world-renown singer (at least underground) , Arena has written several peer-appreciated, but not-yet-produced plays, has published poetry and won awards for her short stories on websites that no longer exist, and produced an album that she can't afford to hype with the finesse of the happiness experts.

    I’ve been missing the last week because I’ve really been trying to dedicate to affirmations, meditations, ruminations hoping to have something to report.  Everything is the same. 

    I keep trying.  This morning I read on how to be better at the law of attraction.  The first thing, you’ve heard it before, stated “you’re already doing it.”  Ugh.  I thought Catholics and Jews had all of the guilt.  I can’t possibly be responsible for all of this mayhem in my life.  I can’t even blame it on drugs or a learning disability.
