Gil Norton, whose past credits include efforts by the Foo Fighters, produced the first half, while Brian Deck, who has worked with Iron & Wine, is responsible for the second half. Norton’s influence is apparent in the album’s unsparing opening track...

Dunn ’99, a psychology professor at the University of British Columbia, the report used a combination of real-life and laboratory data to conclude that people who give money to others—no matter how little—are happier than people who do not. “We were interested in studying happiness by seeing people’s actions rather than their circumstances...
