          <body><![CDATA[Unfortunately, it's not turning out to be as good as I had hoped.  Each chapter is supposed one of &quot;Thirty True Things You Need to Know Now.&quot;  There are some good things to think about:  Most of our behavior is driven by our feelings; the three components of happiness are something to do, someone to love, and something to look forward to; any relationship is under the control of the one who cares the least.  However, much of the book just seems to be senseless rambling.  At least it's a very quick read, so I imagine I'll finish it, despite my general disappointment in the book.]]></body>
