I think that like most people, doing what I like makes me happiest. Working on projects or building something that interests me without the stress of deadlines or work I don't want to do. I think that a national happiness index would be an interesting thing to try.the results however I don't think should affect national policy because people's definitions of happiness can be very different.

Most children's books are also a child's first experience hearing about something without actually being there to experience it. This makes those books are essential in the development of a child. This is why I wanted to look into children's books, they are so crucial to children and thus overall societies further development, and more attention should be paid to them. One specific thing that I noticed while looking into changes in children's literature was the change based on time.
