"Pretty much all the advice about happiness we have heard revolves around one basic assumption: that we can think ourselves happier. But in HAPPINESS BY DESIGN, behavior and happiness expert Paul Dolan reveals that the key to being happy does not lie in changing how we think--it's changing what we do"--

Questions sur le bonheur et réponses du gouvernement : une étude pilote de ce que le public fait de tout cela Les résultats de questionnaires administrés à 51 personnes représentent une modeste contribution à la recherche empirique visant à comprendre les enquêtes de bien-être et leur pertinence pour les décisions politiques. Il apparaît que les taux de satisfaction avec la vie sont des évaluations de la vie passée, ou du moins de la vie au cours des années récentes. La plupart des répondants seraient réticents à prendre une pilule qui augmenterait leur satisfaction. Les répondants sont généralement en faveur de la fourniture de services publics et de la promotion des conditions du bonheur plutôt que de la promotion du bonheur en tant que tel. Ils pensent que les gens sont trop différents pour que l'Etat puisse avoir une influence directe. Convaincre ces personnes des mérites de politiques visant à l'amélioration du bien-être subjective requiert le développement de bons indicateurs et la conception de bonnes politiques.

The results from interviews conducted with 51 respondents represent a small contribution to an empirical research agenda designed to find out what goes into wellbeing reports and the appropriateness for policy analysis of what comes out. It appears that life satisfaction ratings are retrospective assessments of how life has gone thus far, or at least how the last few years have gone. Most respondents would be reluctant to take a pill to improve their life satisfaction. Respondents were also generally in favour of providing good public services and perhaps promoting the conditions for happiness rather than focussing on happiness itself. Some people did not think the government should be responsible for promoting happiness directly and others were against happiness as a goal of policy because people were seen as being too different for policies to actually make any difference. Convincing people like these of the merits of policies designed to improve SWB requires the development of good measures and design of good policies. Adapted from the source document.

What is American poetry? This paper is a history of the various answers poets have given to that question. They include Whitman's creation of a new form for poetry, one to replace those inherited from England. This new poetry was as radical politically as it was poetically —it was created to include those that other poetic forms had left out. Frost, on the other hand, adapted British verse forms to an American scene and American verse. The contradictory nature of America's response to Europe has shaped the divided tradition of American poetry.
