There seems to be a whole slew of books and articles on lawyers and happiness. I can’t quite understand the phenomenon, and I don’t know any practicing lawyer who’s actually read one.

But we can’t seem to stay away from the topic. Just a few weeks ago, I queried: Are lawyers just too damn smart to be happy? At that time, I was discussing The Happiness Project, a best seller by former Supreme Court clerk Gretchen Rubin.
