Today’s Reads XI – Income Levels and Stress, Old Politicians, and Cats Purring

  1. Higher income amounts to lower stress.” No shit, HBS. But yeah, it’s a good reminder, that money can’t buy happiness necessarily, but it can smoothen away a lot of the wrinkles that crop up in life from time to time. It’s not always good to be rich, but it’s very very helpful to not be poor.
  2. American gerontocracy! I haven’t seen similar analyses for Malaysia, but if we have a 90+ year old former PM still hankering for the top job, I’m willing to guess that Malaysia probably has similar problems!
  3. Why and how cats purr. What a wonderful thing it is to make another creature happy, for no other reason than love and mutual care.
