I have been reading the editorial on Happiness and the responses with
deep interest. Having just finished writing a book for OUP on long-term
illness in general, I am now starting work on a book about happiness (or
unhappiness) in illness. I want to explore the factors that make it easier
or more difficult to experience happiness if one has to cope with a long-
term illness.
Most readers will accept that they know some people with such an
illness who seem to be happy a good deal of the time and some who are
fairly miserable. What is the difference?
Any suggestions or contibutions would be very much appreciated.
