Administrators seem to have identified an important problem within the Harvardian psyche. After busting a gut to get here, students are clueless about how to relax and enjoy the fruits of their successes. How to rectify it, though, is another challenge altogether. Lewis’ extremely small-scale suggestions to that end are limited to not creating “more yardsticks”—such as having grade point averages calculated to three decimal places.

These genes, honed by millions of years of evolution, appear to have betrayed many of us in the 21st century world...
STABLE-VALUE FUNDS If opening your 401(k) statements has become a gut-wrenching experience, you may want to shift some of your assets into a stable-value fund. With it, you are buying either a portfolio of guaranteed investment contracts or a portfolio of short-to intermediate-term bonds with an insurance feature that guarantees you will not lose money. Since 1999 the typical stable-value fund has returned more than 6% annually. This year the funds are not on track to perform quite that well. One large fund, Scudder Preservation Plus Income, is up just 3% year...
