If America’s So Rich, How’d It Get So Sad?

Derek Thompson

One of the more remarkable discoveries in Peltzman’s paper is that the decline in self-reported well-being since 2020 has not been concentrated among young people, poor people, or unmarried people—three of the groups typically afflicted by higher levels of anxiety and sadness. Instead, the decline in happiness has been an across-the-board 10- to 15-point decimation experienced by practically every demographic.

The purist’s guide to phở in Hanoi

Connla Stokes | A Story from Connla
