Miserable Update
Although many economists agree that money
doesn't make people happy, disparities in income make people miserable,
according to most happiness literature. Happiness is less a function of
absolute income than of comparative income.

Most Miserable Therapy
Fire your therapist if he/she so much as
mentions your childhood. Contrary to Freud & in support of common sense,
author Martin Seligman's research suggests that rehashing events which
enraged you long ago tends to produce depression rather than sweet closure
and relief.

Most Miserable Self-Assessment
I'm quite happy in my unhappy way. I'm more
than satisfied to remain unsatisfied. You see...I've been to the edge of
the abyss on more than one unsavory occasion. The view down is darkly
steep and scary, a chilling reminder that there is, in fact, an abyss.
- "Home Land," by Sam Lipsyte

Most Miserable Feeling
There's a new installment in the annals of loneliness. Americans aren't
only lacking in bowling partners, now they're lacking in people to tell
their deepest, darkest secrets. They've hunkered down even more, their
inner circle often contracting until it includes only family, only a
spouse or, at worst, no one. And that is something the Internet may help
ease, but is unlikely to cure.
