I’ve been reading Happiness: Lessons from a New Science by Richard Layard. It wasn’t until I looked for a picture online that I realized that the graph on the front formed a smile. I’m not actually as stupid as I sound: my of the book carries a large sticker that obsures part of the image.

I’m really enjoying the book. I love reading about surveys of human behavior – it’s so interesting! Fun fact: humans are generally social beings, and prefer company to being alone. In fact the only situation where being alone is preferable is when the company is your boss!
