"...we should rely on others as surrogates for predicting our future experience." (?)
What does that mean?
So, would that mean anyone who isolates is probably going to be unhappy? I'd guess it's a given - if you're older and have no one, you're probably loney and unhappy, but I don't know.
I've put a copy on reserve at the library. Sounds interesting - wonder if it correlates with the class taught at Harvard.
