—  When the chance came to contribute to the new Aggregation Magazine, an online collection of stories based on a collection of links, I knew exactly what I wanted to write about: the allure of happiness. We’re flooded on a daily basis of what happiness should look like; what it should mean, how it should feel. But where does the self come into play? How does one define it? I’m not sure I’ve answered any of these questions, but I hope these links bring you one step closer to doing so.

Others links that didn’t make my cut in the piece (too recent and you’ve probably already heard about because the media obsessed over it for about a week), but are worth a look nonetheless:

Looking for happiness? Try Bhutan. Boston Globe. 
The world’s happiest countries. Forbes.
