Mmm, Interesting question. So why are men the happier sex? Because women are the happiest.Humor cures. But what is the reality? According to PRWeb.com, statistics show women make or influence 85% of ALL buying decisions, across the board.Princeton University’s one of the latest research suggests that men spend 90 more minutes a day than women do having fun. What these 90 more minutes include in

Many of us fall into the trap of seeking happiness through material possessions or external circumstances many of which are beyond our control.

Studies show that money can buy happiness, but only until the point where you have enough to cover expenses for food, shelter, health care, and transportation.

Why Sleeping is (Almost) More Important Than Breathing I used to pull all-nighters back in college, forcing myself to stay awake to cram for an exam or finish a paper on art history, my major. I did it because I thought it would help me get ahead, but in the end it always set me back—I wound up tired, cranky and unproductive the next day.Even though I've grown up (and wisened up) since then, I still have trouble convincing myself to crawl into bed at night: I keep a running tally of all the things I haven't crossed off my to-do list—reading manuscripts, prepping for a TV appearance, even laundry! And I'm always tempted to stay up just a bit longer to get everything done before morning.So what stops me from burning the midnight oil? Not only has personal experience proved that I'll be m

If happiness is the currency of life — the true measure of success, how hefty is your happiness account? How abundant is your contentment? How much happiness can you afford to give?

But Baby Boomers are less happy than other generational groups Americans grow happier as they grow older, according to a University of Chicago study. The study also found that baby boomers are not as content as other generations, African Americans are less happy than whites, men are less happy than women, happiness can rise and fall between eras, and that, with age the differences narrow. "Understanding happiness is important to understanding quality of life. The happiness measure is a guide to how well society is meeting people's needs," said Yang Yang, Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Chicago and author of the article published in the American Sociological Review, the official journal of the American Sociological Association.

In a rather asinine study that somehow claims to measure true happiness, the conclusion reached by Professor Andrew Clark and Dr. Orsolya Leikes in Britain was that people who believe in God are happier than agnostics or atheists.According to them, religious people were better able to cope with disappointments such as unemployment or divorce. Nothing in this study suggests that these people may be using religion as a crutch as a means to avoid dealing with reality that atheists and agnostics choose to deal with on a daily basis.There is also nothing in this study that, perhaps, agnostics or atheists would be a little happier if they didn't have to put up with the inanities of organized religion being forced down their throat day after day.The authors of the study are quoted as saying "Reli

One of the most frustrating paradigms in the modern workplace is that "staying busy" is often substituted for "staying efficient." You can stay busy for eight hours and get very little work done (we all have known coworkers like this) while others can stay efficient and get 2-3 times as much done in half the time. So what makes an efficient person? Well, I would venture to say that being efficient is more about what you "cut out" than what you "add in," although most productivity tips include more of the latter. That said, here are 10 ways that I've found to be helpful in trimming excess waste in my typical freelancing work week. Being More ProductiveCut Out Multitasking. "Multitasking" has become a sacred word in today's workplace. And although it can be a great quality for certain roles

Cat behavior problems are normal and difficult for owners to deal with at times. Every cat owner wants a good relationship with his cat. In general, cats are known to be independent and aloof, which is part of their appeal to some owners. But there are some behaviors that make it difficult to share a harmonious home with your cat. Understanding a little about these behaviors makes them easier to deal with.Relieving Outside The Litter BoxThis behavior can be caused by any number of reasons: medical conditions, stress, preference, location of the litter box and sanitary conditions. Your veterinarian should check your cat for any symptoms of diseases and conditions that affect the frequency of elimination in your cat. These can include: lower urinary tract disease, kidney disease or colitis.Putting several litter boxes around your house can be a solution for this problem. There is no need to go to a lot of extra expense for this. Dishpans or big plastic containers will work just fine. Als

Kill Bad Breath and Lead a Happier and Healthier Life. With Fresh Breath You Can Smile and Know that People Will Smile Back Not Back Up. Our smiles can help us have a better outlook on life. The more we smile at the people around us the friendlier they will be and more acceptable to us. We develop new relationships and we get more opportunities. For some people, smiling is rarely a problem; it's when they start talking that gets them into an embarrassing situation, and it's not from what they are saying

Today was my 15th day in a row going to my job.  I hate my job.  It’s boring and tedious and stressful as hell.  I never knew how many truly hateful people there were in the world until I entered the world of doing customer service or telemarketing.  People will say things to you through the anonyminity provided by the phone that they would never dare to say to another human being in person.  Anyway, today wound up being a short day at work.  On Sundays we do nothing but confirm appointments that our various Doctors have in their Monday schedules.  Today our 7-8 hour day turned into a 5.25 hour day because of too few appointments and overstaffing.  I was more ticked off than pleased as my hours today were overtime and so I lost $40-50.  But, it did have some advantages. After dinner Miss Angst and I played We Love Katamari. It is a favorite game in our house primarily because it is pure silliness and makes us laugh.  And tonight was no exception. If you’ve neve

Happiness seems like such a simple concept, yet so many folks walk around unhappy. We often lose sight of what it actually is. When I was a DoorMat, happiness meant having a good day, not getting hurt, getting attention from someone I thought I needed, or being with a guy I liked and feeling complete for the moment. But that wasn’t real happiness! It was moments of not being unhappy. Who’d have thunk that there would be a need for a whole course on happiness? Many of us need to be taught how to achieve it! Tal Ben-Shahar, Ph.D teaches the largest course at Harvard University on "Positive Psychology" and the third largest on "The Psychology of Leadership."
 Tal consults and lectures around the world to executives in multi-national corporations, the general public, and at-risk populations about happiness, self-esteem, resilience, goal setting, mindfulness, and leadership. His new book is called Happier. It’s an excellent course in happiness! Below is a sample.Fifth Meditation: Im

“The Halloween Method For Change”Here it is again, that scary and gruesome holiday we call “Halloween”. Yeah, here comes the ghosts, the vampires, the monsters, and all the negative vibes that come along with this last day in October. This being the case, I propose a plan of action - my “Halloween Method For Change” - a method that uses the negative theme and frightfulness of this holiday as a helpful tool in our day-to-day lives. It will turn Halloween into a positve force for personal development, instead of just an entertaining event. Turning A Negative Holiday Into A Positive EventAs we know and love, Halloween is about dressing up in scary costumes and faces and receiving gifts(candy for kids and gifts for adults). I propose that we can utilize the negative faces, dress and horrific nature of this occassion as a catalyst for creating a more positive and less intimidating and fearful existence. How can this be done? Read On. The Method: Using

A friend of mine sent me an article recently and wanted me to share my thoughts on the subject. “He’s Happier, She’s Less So” is simply about a research study to show who is happy and not happy, and why. In essence the study says that women 30 years ago were generally happier than they are now, and men are happier now than 30 years ago. The reason: with women being so much more prevalent in the work force, the responsibilities of home still sit on her shoulders. The following is a piece of the article… These trends are reminiscent of the idea of “the second shift,” the name of a 1989 book by the sociologist Arlie Hochschild, arguing that modern women effectively had to hold down two jobs. The first shift was at the office, and the second at home… What has changed — and what seems to be the most likely explanation for the happiness trends — is that women now have a much longer to-do list than they once did (including helping their aging pa

1. Trim your Christmas card list to save on greetings and postage.2. Make your own cards. 3. Don't buy "bargain" pacts of gift wrap and ribbon without reading the label to see how many feet you are paying for.4. Make some of your own gifts. The thought that goes into something knitted, sewn, cooked or baked is al­ways appreciated.5. Give a gift of service. How about baby sitting for a young mother or doing the marketing for an older friend or relative? A home made "gift certificate" will explain your offer.6. Get together with other members of the family and give a group gift. For example, by going together with your brothers and sisters, you can get your parents some­thing special.7. Instead of individual gifts, consider one present for an entire family maybe a magazine subscription or a se­lection of fruits and cheeses.8. Conserve energy, even if your house is aglow with lights. Two-hundred-and-fifty midget tree lights use less elec­tricity than a 100-watt bulb. Twinkle lights

Some time ago I wrote about searching for devices to extend power and data to the desktop - at the time I knew very little about them and said:They are devices a little like trailing sockets but they are designed in a wedgeform factor to sit on a desk surface and contain a socket, lan socket (andsometimes a retractable lan cable), and sometimes a phone socket.I have since found the devices in question, and they are from Powerlogic - the Optima Series. They have a modular nature and components can be clipped into place.Having these devices in place means that users don't have to scrabble about on the floor trying to find power and data sockets to connect to - and also means that none of your important kit gets plugged out when a field based employee needs power or data.

The phone calls and the comments of the creditors might be haunting you because the debts are still unpaid. Despite of your willingness, you are unable to dissolve the burden because of deficiency of funds. But to borrow external finance, you do not possess property to place as collateral. Thus, to overcome such financial and debt related hassles unsecured debt consolidation loans are easily available.The primary concern of unsecured debt consolidation loans is to support debtors with adequate finance with which they can easily discontinue their debts. Loans can be approved without placing collateral under unsecured debt consolidation loans. This, provision is intended to provide monetary support who do not have property to place. Moreover, persons who are reluctant to place collateral can also approve the loans. In unsecured debt consolidation loans, the lenders are less concerned about collateral but rather upon the applicant’s credit score. The features of unsecured debt consol

I didn't realize I had missed writing an update yesterday...penance for me.Clearly it's been busy around here.

They are NOT outdoor kittens.For the most part though I've been handling the stress fairly well. I have faith that everything will unfold perfectly and fall into place. I am simply and completely committed to my quest for a full-time copywriting job with an ad agency (or something even better!!).Tomorrow I am following up with a friend's contact and meeting for drinks with another local agency contact. It has occurred to me that I have picked a tough market in Denver.Be that as it may I will persevere. If I end up moving somewhere for a kick ass agency and an ev

What that means is this: If the person next to you isn't "very satisfied," or the two people on either side of you aren't "very happy," chances are that you are!And isn't that a nice thing to realize?!
