To quote Dennett on Happiness is a kind of practical joke I guess.

Dennett is magnificent, brilliant, engaging, fully white bearded, santa-claus like.

The one thing he is not is a happiness expert, specially a first person happiness expert.

In fact, of my intelectual idols (Chronologically listed): Nietzsche, Russell, Woody Allen, Miyazaki, Dennett, Roger Waters, Bostrom, Yudkoskwy. I would consider only Russell and Allen have interesting linguistic lessons with regards to happiness.

It was only supposed to be a data point.

I definitely think you should try to take some kind of vacation soon, regardless of your plans for after that.
