Depression and lawyers
This time of year can be very depressing. After all, the holidays are over, and we're looking at (at least) 6 more weeks of winter, if not more. But depression can be related to a person's choice of profession:
This story reports that Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data ranks law as the profession with the fourth highest suicide rate, right behind dentistry, pharmacy, and medicine, and that state bars say the numbers are rising.

Are lawyers happy in their work?
My new library book: The Happy Lawyer.
This was published in 2010, and its goal is to examine what makes lawyers happy. It's a good read so far, but I've only gotten to comparison of studies asking lawyers (in various ways) whether they are happy being lawyers.
Here's a link to read reviews or buy it on Amazon.
