Cheer up, Big Apple residents — New York City is the most unhappy city in America.
That’s according to data coming from a working paper by Harvard professor Edward Glaeser, Vancouver School of Economics professor Joshua Gottlieb and Harvard doctoral student Oren Ziv. They used data collected in a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention survey called the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, and then adjusted it for age, sex, race, income and other factors. (Such adjustments are important — women, for instance, are happier than men; the married are happier than single or divorced respondents; and so on.)
What needs to be done is to gather up the miserable sit them down and teach them courage and wisdom. Rope will only serve to hang oneself if hardship cannot be dealt with. Wisdom to understand when courage is really needed when faced with miserable conditions, only you can control you.
