If you are amused by promises like these, then Oliver Burkeman's bookThe Antidote
THINKING might just be for you. Burkeman has travelled the world in search of happiness and he
bv Oliver Burkeman has found it in some very unusual places.For example, he meets poor people in Africa
who seem to be happier than some wealthy people he knows in London. For Burkeman,
this shows us that people who do not owrl very much cannot worry about losing it. In
other words, having a lot of things can add a lot of stressto our lives. Of course he is not
saying that poor people in Africa have an easylife. Instead, Burkeman usesthis example
'negative
to talk about Pathsi
'negative path' is important for a satis$ring life' He suggeststhat we need to remind
A
ourselvesthat bad things happen and that we should learn to live with them. True
happiness - if it exists - must include both positive and negative experiences.A complete
life should be one that knows hate as well as love and illness as well as health.
In my favourite part of the book, Burkeman takes us to a small village in Mexico on the
Day of the Dead. The Day of the Dead is a festival that celebrateseveryone who has
died. However, it is not a sad festival at all, but a colourful party for friends and family.
According to Burkeman, we need events like this to remember why we should be happy
more often. TheAntid,oteis an interesting book that has the ability to make you feel that
happiness really is possible.

I read an amazingstory in the newspaperthis morningabout a dog called Blackiewho


saved his owner'slife in Florida.lt seemsthat his owner,pam Evans,who is 79 years old,
was walking near a lake when she fell over and broke her leg. Unforlunately,she couldn,t
moveand didn't havea mobilephoneso she couldn'tcallfor help.At that moment,
a huge alligatorcame out of the lake and stafted walkingtowards pam, threatening
to attack her.Incredibly,Blackiewasn't frightenedby the alligatorand, apparenfly,he
startedfighting it to try and protect pam. Amazingly,after a few minutes,the alligator
gave up trying to attack Pam and went back into the lake. Fortunately,a man who was
nearthe lake with his dog heard Blackiebarkingand came to rescuePam. It seems that
he then phonedfor an ambulance,which immediatelytook pam to hospital.Luckily,
neitherPam nor Blackiewere hurt in the attack and Pam has now made a full recoverv.
