Not that I'm normally into quoting David Brooks...

But this piece had some interesting data in it:

"If the relationship between money and well-being is complicated, the correspondence between personal relationships and happiness is not. The daily activities most associated with happiness are sex, socializing after work and having dinner with others. The daily activity most injurious to happiness is commuting. According to one study, joining a group that meets even just once a month produces the same happiness gain as doubling your income."

Tara, I DEFINITELY want to be in book club now.

Also, I really didn't need a scientist to tell me that Dhaka traffic makes me unhappy.

Well if I would ever take the time to send out the email you could be in the book club. I am super slow on this end! Sorry your happiness revolves around me getting the group together. :)
