Dear Readers, please send your happiness questions to “Ask Dr.]]> All four of you are in the midst of major life transitions. Your son and new daughter-in-law are not only entering adulthood but also learning to be marital partners. You and your husband are transitioning from being in-charge parents to supportstaff for your newly married son and his young wife. While this can be a daunting challenge for everyone involved, you can help make the transition much smoother.]]> Dear Dr. Happy, I am a 29-year-old single woman. I am 5’3” tall and weigh 215 pounds. I’ve been able to lose weight in the past, but it always comes right back on. I get teased about my weight at work (I’m a secretary) and bullied both by friends and family. I’ve never had a real boyfriend. Eating is my only pleasure so, of course, the weight keeps going up. I can’t stop crying. ]]> “Dr. Happy” has been speaking and writing on happiness ever since developing his own deep, inner happiness 20 years ago. Bob is Professor Emeritus from UC.

Dear Readers, please send your happiness questions to “Ask Dr.]]> I am a 23-year-old married woman with a two- year-old little girl. I was a really happy gal when I was a kid but no longer, not since I started watching cable news. All they report is war, terrorism, children being abused and raped, poverty, hunger, and all kinds of other terrible things. How can any informed person be happy in the face of so much misery going on in the world?]]> “Dr. Happy” has been speaking and writing on happiness ever since developing his own deep, inner happiness 20 years ago.

Joey and I have been best friends since even before we started school. Last month, at lunch in the school cafeteria, I got up to get something and Joey stole my chair and he wouldn’t give it back. I got mad and told him I wouldn’t speak to him unless he apologized. But he won’t and it’s been almost a month. I miss him but he was wrong. Dr. H, what should I do now?]]> I’m a 40-year-old married man with two young children. If it weren’t for mornings, I think I’d be a pretty happy guy. But I have to get up before 7 AM and it’s rush, rush, rush to make it to the office by 8:30 AM, my work starttime. But I’m crabby with my wife and the kids and breakfast is just coffee on the run out the door. Evenings are fine but I dread mornings and know my sour mood bothers my wife and kids too. Dr. H, do you have any tips for how I can improve my morning routine?]]>
