I caught this speech on C-Span last night, and was impressed - interested and edified.

Prager doesn’t explicitly make the connection, but it is strongly implicit that his discussion explains why “liberals” tend to be unhappy. And I have been somewhat concerned that lately the “liberals” have succeeded in one thing - inducing some conservatives to sound unhappy, reflecting the unhappiness of the rioters.

We gotta watch out for that, IMHO. I hope and expect that many will enjoy this, particularly those who missed the C-Span broadcast last night. I do have to caution that it is, I don’t know, 45 minutes long - or more. But entertaining as well as edifying. The five-minute Cliff Notes version is found at Prager University, here. If you have time for the longer version, I recommend it in preference.

His book on the subject is

Happiness Is a Serious Problem:
A Human Nature Repair Manual

Dennis Prager’s “Happiness Hour” is also a good thing to listen to.

Prager is an intellectual conservative. It’s easy to listen to him and follow his thinking. I always learn something when listening to him.

Excellent talk - recorded it for my wife to catch when she gets a chance - “Very few people care about how you feel - only how you behave” - “Little Dennis Prager isn’t in the mood for afternoon prayers....hmmmm....so what” - LOL....
