“When you get into a tight place and it seems that you can’t go on, hold on — for that’s just the place and the time that the tide will turn.”
~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
She could well be describing The Dip. If you’ve never heard about it before, read this brief and sweet post about point B by Seth.
Hi! Tomorrow, I’m producing a one-hour show segment for Karen Salmansohn’s show “Be Happy, Dammit.” Karen Salmansohn is a great NYer and author of over 25 books. She asked me months ago to produce a segment of her show during which a panel talks about the research findings of “HAPPINESS AT WORK.” I invited a few classmates onto the program. Would love it if you can listen in, and she takes callers too!
