What makes you so angry and judgmental towards Anna Quindlen?
I promise her book does NOT make me angry. I like it. I’m sure if I ever meet her, I’ll like her. More importantly, I’m not judging Ms. Quindlen or anyone else. What I do attempt to accomplish with Happy Guide, is to play a very low-grade intellectual ping-pong match with A Short Guide to a Happy Life. There are folks who have said, “hey – easy for you to spout off your advice because you have work/play/family & friends. What, do you think my life is less if I don’t have three circles?” If folks have one or one billion circles, it is what it is. I certainly have no education or authority to judge anyone. I’m just a dude who scribbled notes and existential indigestion on the margins of Ms. Quindlen’s little book.
