Stand-up comedian Paula Poundstone appears in Mission Viejo Sept. 27

Beloved stand-up comedian, author and actor Paula Poundstone will discuss her new book “The Totally Unscientific Study of the Search for Human Happiness” at 7 p.m. Wednesday, September 27 at the Norman P. Murray Community and Senior Center.

What is the secret to happiness; how do mere mortals achieve it; and is it even possible to find happiness amid the daily demands of our crazy lives?  Poundstone, the Emmy Award-winning comic and professional doubting Thomas, was determined to find out.  She immersed herself in a series of experiments she hoped would reveal the path to happiness and presents her findings in this wildly funny and strikingly wise book.
