Book cover for My Evil Mother
I very much wanted to be liked. My mother frequently said I’d have to give up that frivolous desire if I was going to amount to anything. She said that wanting to be liked was a weakness of character.

“Social smile. Research shows that we laugh more often when we’re in the company of other people rather than when we are alone. Robert Provine says that only 15% of our laughter comes from the amusement of jokes! There is wisdom to that—so many times I barely smiled when reading a joke alone at home, but when I heard the same joke while with a group of people, I cried out loud with unstoppable laughter. It turns out that laughter has an important social function; it’s the way to forge relationships. Conclusions?”

And from that moment everything has seemed transformed for me; and now I have started, and my pencil has become a little more docile with every day.' In this way, with a dramatic flourish and a hinted resurrection simile, Van Gogh announced his new vocation to Theo.”
Nathaniel Harris, The Masterworks of Van Gogh
