The Pursuit of Happiness
A Short Presentation by Gordon Livingston M.D.
Monday, October 3, 2011

Last year we started an alumnae lecture series at the school; today we had the first talk in the 2011-12 series, with Dr. Gordon Livingston '56. While I liked a lot of what he had to say, I found his talk a bit disjointed - possibly an effect of the relatively short time he had to speak. But one thing he said stood out for me - the three things everyone needs to be happy:

(1) something to do that you find enjoyable and fulfilling

(2) someone to love and be loved by in return

(3) something to look forward to

And I am one heck of a fortunate guy to have all three in ample supply.
