This is it
2007-10-21 - 11:11 a.m. Here's something from the catalog of a small liberal arts college somewhere in the United States: The College's emphasis on the liberal arts and sciences is justified both in sound educational principle and by the test of long experience.

"To realize, to make real, life's potential for the ultimate currency [happiness], we must first accept that "this is it"-- that all there is to life is the day-to-day, the ordinary, the details of the mosaic. We are living a happy life when we derive pleasure and meaning while spending time with our loved ones, or learning something new, or engaging in a project at work. The more our days are filled with these experiences, the happier we become. This is all there is to it. Huh. What a great book, by the way.
