People Who Focus On Their Own Happiness First Without Being Selfish Usually Have 11 Basic Habits (opens the original)
Read excerpt
"A passion for pleasure is the secret of remaining young," said Oscar Wilde. Poor Oscar, though, who lived in unenlightened times and suffered for his pleasures. But I did learn a thing or two from his highly quotable self about living a velvety, extravagant existence. If this is our only shot at living, we must indulge a little bit. Am I wrong, darling? So reach for all the meaning you want, but here are my thoughts on how to truly focus on your own happiness and pleasure while being just the r

Stamps. Bugs. Coins. First-Edition Books. Comic books. Bobbleheads. You think collecting is the purview of the nerdy, the creepy, or the childlike. (No offense, collectors, we all have our quirks.)

Read excerpt

My response was, "My self-deprecation is just another form of self-absorption." Epiphany time!
