Monty Python vindicated...

According to Stanton Peele, Ph.D., J.D., who has been researching and treating addiction since he wrote Love and Addiction (1975):

"Virtually all happiness/antidepression psychology breaks down to one recommendation - look on the bright side. Any one of us can look at our lives in negative or positive terms. All of us have accomplishments, successes, good relationships, skills, hopes, pleasures, contentments. All of us have the reverse. And all of us have the capacity to dwell on one side... or the other."

All of which reminded me about a Monty Python song.
