Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Happiness Is Reading This Amusing Book
It's obvious that Mr. Gilbert had a blast writing about some of the quirky aspects of the brain's memory mechanics. I found the book's upbeat, child-like wonder to be quite infectious. As the author clearly states in the introduction, this is most certainly not a self-help book. But it does explain many of the brain's counterintuitive aspects and how our actions typically have the opposite results in our pursuit of happiness. Mr. Gilbert's argument is a wildly entertaining, comical and informative ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Stumbling on a Title
I should have been warned off by the title of this book: Stumbling On Happiness. Not "Stumbling Upon Happiness" but "on" -- huh? Sounds like a bad thing -- like I'll fall down if I stumble on it.

Without adequately first defining "happiness", the author stumbles headlong (literally) into an endless research-laden dissection of the human condition.

In the end (p. 263), he finally admits: "There is no simple formula for finding happiness. But if our great big brains do ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Interesting read
Very insightful interpretations into the human mind and its tendencies. I recommend this book for anybody with a curiosity of how we go about remembering and forecasting our lives.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - happiness is like this
Pop quiz: You have the choice between two futures, in one you win a three million dollar lotto, in the other you become a parapalegic. Which do you choose? Which will bring you more happiness after one year? If you are like everyone else (yes, everyone) then you picked the former alternative future and the data shows that you were correct in your pick. Just kidding. Actually, the data (and there are many studies) show that the future level of happiness between people who have suffered these two fates ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Find youself
Good self-help book for those who have lost themselves, or feel they have lost touch with what makes them happy.

Cunard Line has announced that its new 85,000-ton cruise ship, which is scheduled to enter service in 2008, will be named Queen Victoria. Based in Southampton, England, the Cunard Queen Victoria will be the second largest Cunard Queen ever built. Together with the current flagship, Queen Elizabeth 2, and Queen Mary 2, the biggest passenger liner ever, the Cunard fleet will include three Queens for the first time – truly the most famous ocean liners in the world.   Cheaper Cost Web Host

Cruise Queen Victoria will enter service in the company’s 165th anniversary and will operate cruises to and from Southampton to the Mediterranean, the Canaries, Northern Europe, the Caribbean, and South America. The 1,968-passenger vessel will feature a covered wraparound promenade deck, a forward-facing observation lounge, a large Lido pool with a retractable magrodome, and 10 of the12 passenger decks will be served by exterior glass-walled lifts. Like QE2 and QM2, the liner will have a Queens Grill, offering single-seating gourmet dining. There will also be a unique Colonial Restaurant on Deck 11 with spectacular panoramic views.

Queen Victoria, Cunard Cruise Line

Queen Victoria cruises will offer a wide range of accommodations, large standard outside cabins (170 square feet) and a high percentage of balcony cabins (67%), thereby bringing new levels of luxury and choice to passengers preferring to depart from a European port.  Cruise Queen Victoria!   Cheaper Web Site


The on-board menus, entertainment and lecture program will be geared to British tastes and the currency will be sterling. Queen Victoria will fly the red ensign; she will have the name of her home port, Southampton, on her stern, and she will have a British Captain and Officers.   In design terms the cruise Cunard Queen Victoria will have an undeniably British feel with two British design teams being responsible for the interior of the Cunard Queen Victoria.

Queen Victoria is being built at Italy’s Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, near Venice, with her keel laid on July 12, 2003. One of the most technically advanced shipbuilders in the world, Fincantieri has built more than 7,000 vessels, including many for Cunard’s parent Carnival Corporation. Originally ordered as the fifth in a series of five 'Vista' class ships for sister company Holland America, the contact was signed over to Cunard before the keel was laid and Holland America then ordered a further ship for delivery  in 2006.   Enjoy a Cruise on Queen Victoria.  The lead ship in the series, Zuiderdam, entered service in December 2002.

No cruise schedules have yet been announced. Her float out is scheduled for May 2007, prior to her delivery in March 2008.She is scheduled to enter service in April 2008.
