LIBA 402 Final Project - Amy Mills: A Guide to Happiness in the Anthropocene

Welcome, welcome!

Hi there, and Welcome!

My name is Amy and I'm so glad you’ve found your way to this project.

This is my personal guide to finding happiness in the Anthropocene. To get started, you can interact with this guide in a number of ways.

Firstly: you can navigate this guide by either following 1 of 2 main paths that delve into the main concepts of this project.

  1. You might head toward "Chasing Sunshine," (path 1) where I dive into the idea of Utopia and why it matters now more than ever.
  2. Or, you can get "Lost in the Sunflowers" (path 2), which is a path dedicated to understanding the deeper essence of joy and happiness and the vital role they play in navigating grief in the Anthropocene as well as their value in renewing critical hope.
On the other hand, if you prefer to interact with this guide in a more linear and entwined fashion, you can navigate this project by diving into the four categories of a users guide:
  1. How to Set up and Install
  2. How to Read and Interpret
  3. How to Hack and Undo
  4. How to Repair and Rewrite: Taking Root
Or: All of the pages are linked below under 'tags', so if you prefer the chaotic route, please explore this guide however you would like.
