Title: Does happiness require distortion?
Post by: Dr. Richard Grossman on April 26, 2009, 12:06:13 PM

Here's an interesting article on marriage that suggests that marital happiness and distortion are related:  Denial Can Bring Marital Bliss     http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20090424/sc_livescience/denialcanbringmaritalbliss

Reminded me of Cordelia Fine's book on the reading list (genetics/neuroscience/evolutionary psychology section):   A Mind of Its Own:  How Your Brain Distorts and Deceives.
