Giving up your vices and guilty pleasures can lead to a happier and healthier life that’s full of purpose. Even though you might not see the changes day-to-day.

A new study has revealed what many of us already knew: It’s getting harder than ever to get by in America. It's also affecting the youngest generations of adults. 85% of Gen Zers (ages 18-24) say that rising healthcare costs make it difficult to save for retirement.

Stanford psychology and law professor David Rosenhan could transfix an audience in a crowded lecture hall with just a few words. “What is abnormality?” he would ask undergraduate students, his deep and resonant golden voice building and booming. “What are we here for? Some things will be black … Others will be white. But be prepared for shades of gray.”

Are the wealthy addicted to money, competition, or just feeling important? Yes.

Former NASA astronaut Mike Massimino breaks down all the differences between using the bathroom, washing your hair, and brushing your teeth on Earth and in space. How do you take showers in space?

Our unpredictable and overburdened schedules are taking a dire toll on American society.

Imagine a place where there are no elite or expensive private schools. And imagine a society where housing is affordable – a three-bedroom house, for example, costing one quarter of a similar property in Sydney. What would such a place be like when the two main drivers of financial stress and resultant inequality were removed?

It seems like there’s so much to be stressed out about these days — from work to relationships to finances to world events. There are bills to pay, misbehaving kids, angry bosses, home repairs … it seems like the list of stressors never ends. (We may not be fighting saber-toothed tigers like our cave-dwelling ancestors — but we’ve got plenty of issues of our own.)

Non-Christians want you to keep your thoughts and prayers to yourself during times of tragedy, according to a new report.

A team of researchers from UC Santa Barbara and Intel took thousands of conversations from the scummiest communities on Reddit and Gab and used them to develop and train AI to combat hate speech. Finally, r/The_Donald and other online cesspools are doing something useful.

Setting goals is critical for every organisation because goals determine the broad vision and direction for any business. The best goals will align with the company mission, vision and culture and describe the business' longer term aspirations before laying out specific actions. Do you know the difference between goals and objectives and how are they related? Without objectives, goals have little support and can be difficult to reach.

The tragic story of a family ravaged by the U.S. immigration system.

Men who lived alone had a 23 percent increased risk for dying prematurely from any cause and a 36 percent increased risk for cardiovascular death.

Something people tend to ignore about the high price of child care in the United States is that it’s not just a burden on individual families; it’s really a weight on our entire economy. The drag is obvious if you look at how female employment has stalled in the U.S. compared with the rest of the globe since the early 1990s. Back then, shoulder pads were in, Murphy Brown and Designing Women were on the air, and the share of American women in the workforce was reasonably high by global standards.

Vern Loomis, a retired structural draftsman in West Bloomfield, Michigan, had a standard office lunch: a peanut-butter sandwich, with various fruit, vegetable, and dessert accompaniments. He ate this, he estimates, nearly every workday for about 25 years.

If you’re one of the 115 million Americans who heads to work in a vehicle, on a daily basis, odds are there are few things that frustrate you more than getting stuck at a red light. Unfortunately, those precious minutes you spend waiting for a light to change are more than just annoying: they’re a major time-suck, too. While red lights often feel as though they take an eternity to change, that’s not quite the case.

For now and probably forever.

It's even harder to decipher the fake from the facts on April Fools' Day.
