There’s a rising call for developed countries to track happiness, rather than just income and wealth. Economists say that the goal of a “rational actor” is to maximize his or her “utility” – their fancy term for happiness – over the course of his or her life. Perhaps governments are trying to catch up with the economists! . . Leicester University in England has tracked happiness for the past 30 years. Consistently, Denmark – not Disneyland – has topped their list as the happiest place on earth. We wondered why why are the people in Denmark so darn happy? Is it the weather? Average temperatures in Copenhagen are about 68 degrees in the summer and around zero in the winter. We don’t know about you, but that’s not our idea of great weather! Is it the taxes? Like her sister Scandinavian countries, Denmark has some of the highest taxes in the world. Now, granted those taxes are matched with some of the highest benefits for any citizenry. Is it their lifestyle or their habits? Danes are some the heaviest drinkers and smokers in the world? Is it their diet? One of the staples of the Danish diet is herring – this is a country that eats a lot of herring! . So it can’t be the diet, because maybe it’s just my personal taste, but ick! . . . Now there a lot of theories about what makes the Danes so happy. One of my theories is that they drink so much, they don’t remember whether they’re happy or not! . . Seriously, theories are fine, but we thought we should look at what the research shows is driving this happiness. Professor Kaare Christensen at the University of Southern Denmark found that Danes have low expectations. Because of this culture of expecting less, the people are happy when good things happen. This made us think of something Tony Robbins said – if you’re not happy, you have a choice. You can either change your conditions or your expectations. But what if you don’t want to change your expectations? Tal Ben-Shahar, who teaches the most popular class at Harvard University, found that the single most significant predictor of happiness is close relationships with friends and family. We found it interesting that 92 percent of Danes belong to some sort of social club. Maybe that’s why social media has become so bigg! What do you think? Subscribe to The Bigg Success Show in iTunes.

UPDATE III (6.20.08): This is how you convince people you're not very bright and you're the product of affirmative action gone wrong: Michelle went on "The View" for some image rehabilitation work, right? So she gets on there and what does she say about Barack? That he was "sweet and pathetic." I kid you not. Go Google it and see and hear it for yourself. Men, don't marry a woman like this. Particularly if you want to run for office. **************************************** *********** **************************************** *********** UPDATE II: Michelle's affirmative action confirmed and her wanting skills sourced Affirmative action (see Newsweek info.): http://www.renewamerica.us/columns/gaynor/080223 It is almost certain Michelle -- new Harvard Law grad -- failed the July 1988 bar. Only 19% of the test takers failed. Nope, no affirmative action here. All merit for Michelle. NOT!: http://www.vdare.com/sailer/080225_michelle_obama.htm **************************************** *********** **************************************** *********** UPDATE: Crucial links for the Anti-Barack Coalition (ABC).

Don't worry, you are in very good company. Pretty much everyone is sick of her and we felt it was time to comment on that reality. Imagine the shame she would bring to the station of First Lady.

http://www.therenegadehealthshow.com - When I saw this news about big-time researchers misrepresenting their income from pharmaceutical companies, I knew I needed to tell you... Seems like these guys have received millions of dollars from the pharmaceutical companies over the last 7 years and have reported very little of it to university officials (which could put the university and research credibility on the line, since most universities want to have UNBIASED studies!) We all know, the researchers are getting paid, but when they go to great lengths to hide it, we have to start questioning their motives and their allegiance. Take a look... (I also answer about 10 or so questions from the blog in today's show... maybe I covered yours!)

Timothy Leary, once labeled 'the most dangerous man in America' by President Richard Nixon, was a Harvard Professor, an advocate of LSD and Marijuana (in a spiritual sense) and devised a model for the 'eight levels of consciousness'. He ran against Ronald Regan for Governor of California, the campaign for which John Lennon wrote 'Come Together', he coined the phrase 'Turn on, tune in, drop out', was godfather to Winona Ryder and was closely associated with stars such as Johnny Depp, Susan Sarandon & Dan Aykroyd. The Six Wives of Timothy Leary is a new play opening at London's Riverside Studios, Hammersmith, (from June 3 - June 26), before transferring to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe '08. Here, the characters of his six wives talk about who Timothy Leary was.
