The Dennis Prager Show presents: Best of Happiness Hour 2014. Life Is Tough: Everyone knows this. But most try not to think about it. This is not a good happiness strategy. Recognizing that life is tough gives you the perspective needed to achieve happiness. Depression: Dennis talks to Dr. Stephen Marmer, member of the clinical faculty of UCLA Medical School and psychiatrist in private practice in Brentwood, CA. The subject is: what is the difference between feeling depressed and being depressed. And what can you do about either one? Was That Fight Worth It?: We fight about so many things with our friends and our spouses. How many of these fights are really worth the pain they generate? We waste a lot of time not being happy. Darkness at Noon: People think that somber, dour and dark equals deep. And that the happy are shallow. The truth is the opposite. You Owe Me: Feeling that the world owes you something is a major impediment to a happier life. But we are raising a generation who carry that belief. What will be the consequences? Is Happiness Boring?: Madison Avenue and Hollywood promote an exciting life. Does happiness get a bad rap because it's perceived as boring? Is it?
