A while back, each day for two weeks, I posted about Ten Happiness Myths. Here they are, for your reading convenience. (Click on each myth to read a longer explanation of it.) 1. Happy people are annoying and stupid. Wrong. Actually, studies show that people find happy people much more likable than their less-happy peers. Happy people are viewed as friendlier, smarter, warmer, less selfish, more self-confident, and more socially skilled — even more physically attractive. 2. Nothing changes a person’s happiness level much. It’s true that there’s a powerful genetic link to happiness — usually it’s estimated t...

CannonYesterday’s New York Times editorialized: It’s the time of year when the trustees of Medicare and Social Security release their annual reports on the programs’ financial health. And that means Americans are likely to be bathed in a fog of political rhetoric that makes it hard to sort out fact from fiction. Here’s the bottom line… The Times then proceeded to bathe its readers in fog: According to the reports, the date of insolvency for Medicare’s hospital fund was pushed back, from 2017 to 2029, because of cost-saving measures in health reform. As for Social Security, without any changes, it will be able to pay full benefits until 2037 and partial benefits after that, the same estimate as in last year’s report, despite temporary setbacks from the re...

He writes: Larry had been to hell and back and now his spirit soared. “Religion is for people who fear hell,” Larry told me. “Spirituality is for those who have been there.” Life to Larry is not about a church but belief in the human spirit. “Richard, that spirit is why I get up each day.” For him, doctors did not understand this dimension. “Psychiatry tried to beat it out of me, to convince me this was just a symptom of my disease, a psychiatric disorder” “And that was not the whole story?” “No. Even in sickness, I see a spiritual realm that to me is...

The only trouble? There’s no way these employers are seriously thinking about doing this. I can understand why the employers would do the math. According to healthcare reform law, penalties for failing to provide health coverage are a small fraction of the cost of that coverage. But as with most everything else in healthcare, there’s muc...

Astute readers will note that doctors are not the only professionals to examine the hand.

Only 15 of this year’s Fortune 500 companies have woman CEOs – the same percentage as last year. Robin Marty of Care2 points out that most of the companies women lead are “women focused” companies – your food and cosmetic businesses. But Marty also points out that there are a few positive points about this year’s list. Xerox replaced one woman CEO with another – a first for the Fortune 500 companies. And almost half of the companies with female CEOs are in the top 100. Marty also questions what’s keeping women from succeeding to the extent that men do in business, especially since now, two women earn a business degree for every man who does. And women are steadily reaching positions of po...

There is nothing like a cold, hard statistic to hang your hat on. What better way is there to drive home your point in the courtroom, the conference room, the Senate chamber? But as much as numbers illuminate, they also obfuscate. Take, for instance, a recent New York Times article announcing that women outnumber men on our  nation’s payrolls. We have reached an historic milestone. But before you break out the champagne, take a closer look. You actually do not need to search very hard. In fact, all it will take is a glance—one brief, passing glance into any of the thousands of corporate board rooms across America. As of 2009, a wan 15.2 percent of Fortune 500 board members were women.  That means, for the average 10-person corporate board, there aren’t even ...

They could just give their money to the state, of course, but they want to impose their self-loathing policies on all successful Germans. The amusing part of the story is that these dilettantes were puzzled that so few people showed up to their protest. Maybe next time they could do some real redistribution and announce that they will be tossing real banknotes in the air: A group of rich Germans has launched a petition calling for the government to make wealthy people pay higher taxes. The group say they have more money than they need, and the extra revenue could fund economic and social programmes… Simply donating money to deal with the problems is not enough, they want a change in the wh...

Your logic ignores the fact that terrorists can move to governed spaces. Rather than setting up in weak, ungoverned states, enemies can flourish in strong states because these countries have for...

Making the list offers bragging rights, particularly if the ranking is high. Genentech, for instance, made it to the top ten for the past three years in a row. Conspicuously absent, however, is big pharma. Except for AstraZeneca, which finished No. 83 on the latest list, drugmakers don’t show up. (Here are the lists for 2008, 2007 and 2006). During the past three rankings, the only other big drugmaker to make an appearance at all was Lilly - just once.
