What Makes Chocolate Happy?
If chocolate makes you happy, what makes chocolate happy?
I asked this question in another forum today, prompted by reading a number of articles on the creative process of genius.
The defining factor, it seems, is that geniuses are restless and twisted. They don't ask ordinary questions, and they don't accept ordinary answers.
Which many would find an intolerable way to live.
Which may also explain why even - or particularly - the self help crowd keep chasing the elusive grail.
My 'chocolate' question might appear frivolous, but it actually provides a profound template.
Where can you apply it?
