Sometimes people with BDD also have bulimia, according to Brown psychiatrist Katharine Phillips, a leading authority on the illness. In Rivers' 1997 autobiography Bouncing Back: I've Survived Everything ... And I Mean Everything ... And You Can Too!, she says she became bulimic after her husband, TV producer Edgar Rosenberg, committed suicide in 1987. Rivers is heartbreakingly funny about the subject. Of her admission that she never told her therapist that she was gagging herself after meals, she writes, "Exactly how would I have put it?

"This void of loss people feel makes them want to fill it up with something," says Keltner--and often that means spending a little more for a luxury item. This doesn't mean you should take on a second mortgage, 2006-style, but it wouldn't hurt you or your local coffee roaster to splurge on a cappuccino now and then...
Which doesn't mean that Barack Obama should begin weeping at press conferences to make us sad or bang his fist on a lectern to goad our anger. But his Administration might want to avoid messages that portray the recession as a frightening monster rather than as a maddening, depressing but solvable problem...
