I really enjoyed this, and it would have gotten another quarter point, but I did get lost a little bit in the happiness philosophy. It got a little too technical and I had to try not to zone out. So that may have been toned down a bit. But I thought this covered really interested topics, like what it means to be declared "non-verbal" but you still have something to say. I'm excited to read Ms. Kim again, and this will change my language when talking about people who are non-speaking.
I do wonder through, if you thought that your dad was cheating, wouldn't you google the other woman straight away?
