Lorraine teaches at Middlebury collegeĀ and has recently written The Art of the Interesting: What We Miss in Our Pursuit of the Good Life and How to Cultivate It.

Can we find something interesting even the most tedious, repetitive tasks? Is it interesting to start an improv scene by declaring that your scene-mates are dealing with alcoholism and divorce? Certainly it is rude. Also, Happiness 12 Step Programs. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
