...phenomenon of “retail therapy”—buying new clothing or going out to a nice meal to improve one’s mood—is well known, but the authors of the study found indications that it extends even to objects not normally associated with a boost in happiness...

Maybe the jaded attitude that predominates much of campus stems from the nature of our student body: a group highly trained in close analysis. While critical thinking may be an asset for philosophy papers and biology exams, outside of class it can generate a constant stream of nitpicking complaints. But whether or not you feel...
