Opportunities to show compassion often feel difficult, but exercising virtue seems to help people cope.

New study suggests compassion, patience, and self-control are great 'selfish' choices for your own happiness

Virtues such as compassion, patience and self-control may be beneficial not only for others but also for oneself, according to new research my team and I published in the Journal of Personality in December 2025.

Philosophers from Aristotle to al-Fārābī, a 10th-century scholar in what is now Iraq, have argued that virtue is vital for well-being. Yet others, such as Thomas Hobbes and Friedrich Nietzsche, have argued the opposite: Virtue offers no benefit to oneself and is good only for others. This second theory has inspired lots of research in contemporary psychology, which often sees morality and self-interest as fundamentally opposed.

Legendary folk singer Leonard Cohen said a monk helped free him from negative thinking

Even the most successful individuals can struggle with a negative perspective and find it challenging to achieve happiness. Legendary folk singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen once shared his own concerns that brought him to live in a monastery.

In a resurfaced video interview, Cohen expressed gratitude for a monk who helped free him from negative thinking. Through spiritual guidance, Cohen learned that his unfulfilled feelings about purpose and achievement were delusions of his own making.

She found a bunch of cash in a thrift-store purse. But the stunning handwritten note left her speechless.

Thrift shopping is basically a treasure hunt. You dig through racks of old t-shirts hoping to find a gem, but usually you just find a lot of dust.

However, sometimes the universe delivers.

Deep reading can boost your critical thinking and help you resist misinformation – here’s how to build the skill

The average American checks their phone over 140 times a day, clocking an average of 4.5 hours of daily use, with 57% of people admitting they’re “addicted” to their phone. Tech companies, influencers and other content creators compete for all that attention, which has incentivized the rise of misinformation.

Considering this challenging information landscape, strong critical reading skills are as relevant and necessary as they’ve ever been.

Flight attendant reveals the one extremely common passenger request they will always say no to

There is a specific type of anxiety that comes with boarding a plane. You are holding up the line, the aisle is narrow, and suddenly you have to hoist a 30-pound suitcase above your head while 100 people watch.

It is a humiliating struggle, and for many passengers, the natural instinct is to look at the flight attendant for help.

The decision to put a pet to sleep is perhaps the hardest choice an owner ever has to make. You agonize over the timing, fearing you are waiting too long or acting too soon. For Alexandra Blumenfeld (@alexblumy) and her family, the time had seemingly come for their 11-year-old dog, Brinkley.

Brinkley had been battling a terminal cancer diagnosis for a year. Recently, his condition had taken a sharp turn for the worse. He was exhausted, breathing heavily, and scans revealed internal bleeding and tumors.

These '80s and '90s TV commercials are blasts of nostalgia.

Why these innocent, soothing '80s and '90s TV commercials hit people like nostalgic comfort food

If you were to play a TV commercial from the 1950s next to one from the 1980s and another from the 2020s, the differences in vibe would be startling. There are countless contributing factors, ranging from the evolution of filmmaking to the influence of social media and streaming platforms.

But if you were to say, "They don’t make them like they used to," about ads from the '80s and 1990s, you'd be right in the most literal sense. Advertisements are, at their best, works of art, and it only makes sense that they would evolve.

Half of Americans say they've cut their screen time. And it's Gen Z leading the way, not Boomers.

A survey released in 2026 found that 50% of Americans say they’ve cut their screen time. Less time in front of phones, pads, laptops, televisions, everything. However, the generation leading the charge isn’t Boomers or Gen X, who have lived significantly longer without the Internet or social media, but the generation born into an already-online world.

Out of all the generations surveyed, Talker Research found that 63% of Gen Z made it a point to unplug and cut their screen time, followed by Millennials (57%), Gen X (42%), and then Baby Boomers (29%). Their reasons varied, but the folks surveyed said that having digital disconnection helped them feel more productive (42%), aware of what’s going on in their daily lives (33%), and present for their loved ones (33%).
