Here are some pieces so interesting I'm at a loss for commentary:

• The secret of happiness:"Our data suggest that effort and hard work offer the most promising route to happiness."
• The recording industry is ruining albums by making them louder. And even if you aren't aware of it, the phenomenon can make you physically fatigued.
• Robert Putnam's latest research shows that "the more diverse a community is, the less likely its inhabitants are to trust anyone."
• A stimulating environment can lead to the growth of new neurons.
• A recent study reveals that political science literature is biased toward positive results. What's more, Kevin Drum notes that political scientists are goosing their statistics to make them significant.
