Finished in 2020, with the world on the brink of a global pandemic, this book’s messages of hope and happiness are perhaps needed now more so than ever before. The Happy Clam scales the realms of happiness - physical, intellectual, emotional, relational, spiritual - bringing together findings from across the fields of psychology and philosophy, with practical advice on how to apply them and be happier. It turns out there are a thousand little things we can do to invite a little more happiness into our lives, to nudge the needle a tick or two, but only a few things that really make a difference. Why happy clam? Just as clams are filter feeders, taking in nourishment from what’s in the passing current, Rose has taken in all the bits and bytes of daily news, research, and experience, and stitched them together to create a delicately-crafted mosaic rich in hope and inspiration. The book also shares deeply personal experiences, with both humor and gravity in the face of loss, along with serving up some favorite family recipes.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Rosemary Schmidt is a writer, sometimes poet, philosopher, publisher, blogger, and retired rugby player. Rose grew up in Aurora, Illinois, attended the University of Dayton, and University of Illinois, and resides with her spouse, Susan, in the Boston area.

Rose first started writing a weekly column while in her senior year at the University of Dayton when the editorial staff of the Flyer News took a chance on her. Rose’s first book (Go Forward, Support! Rugby and the Meaning of Life) was a philosophical contemplation of how the lessons of rugby apply equally well to life, and was published in 2003. Rose picked up the pen again in 2014 when she started her blog (Rosebuds Blog), covering the range of human experience, from art and music to science and psychology.

Rose’s second book, The Happy Clam, takes readers on a tour of the realms of happiness – physical, intellectual, emotional, relational, and spiritual. The Happy Clam reflects over 14 years of work, and was released in 2020 into a world in the grip of a pandemic, when perhaps these messages of hope and happiness are needed more so than ever before.

This was more than I thought it would be. Well worth your time to read. It is much more than just about how to be happy. I would recommend it to anyone who cares about others.
