Wealth equality, antidepressants, and happiness

This week, all of our topics come from the happiness section of our site. We learn about how the wealth of others affects your happiness, the effectiveness of anti-depressant drugs, and why being happy all the time may not make you happy all the time.

Show Notes:

  • ‘Emodiversity’ (feeling a balance of different emotions) has been found to be predictive of better mental and physical health.
  • People who cried while watching a movie experienced a more negative emotional state initially, but within 90 minutes recovered to an even better mood than before watching the movie.
  • Pixar's Inside Out
  • Feeling poorer than one's peers decreases health and happiness (for example, in measures of life expectancy, diet, or exercise). Reducing conspicuous consumption may make communities happier and healthier.
  • Canadian Thanksgiving
  • The Perfect Salary for Happiness: $75,000 (Wall Street Journal)
  • An analysis of over 6500 depressed patients found that antidepressant drugs were effective and consistently superior to placebo at reducing depressed mood.
