Education strongly correlates with future happiness Education is probably more strongly correlated with future happiness throughout adulthood than any other variable, according to Jeffrey Arnett, developmental psychologist and professor of psychology at Clark University. Happiness, in this case, is defined as satisfaction with the way one s life is going.
Research suggests that the more education you have, the happier you tend to be.
In a survey that utilized data from the U.S. General Social Surveys, 94% of people with a bachelor s degree or more reported feeling happy or very happy with their lives overall, while 89% of high school grads said the same. A 2016 Pew survey found that adults with less than a high school education are more than twice as likely as those with a bachelor s degree or more education to say they are not happy with their lives.

If you’ve read any leftist coverage of President Trump’s 1776 Commission, you’d have been surprised to listen in on its first meeting Tuesday. It was brief, orderly, included a wide range of voices and life experiences united by a commitment to American ideals, and commission members repeatedly emphasized their interest in avoiding partisanship and reaching out to Americans of all backgrounds and walks of life.
Their goal is to unite Americans, as Trump’s executive order creating the commission states, in “a rediscovery of a shared identity rooted in our founding principles.” That is quite different from wild claims that the commission seeks to hide America’s sins and indoctrinate Americans with jingoistic, chest-thumping nationalism.

Atmospheric fields of luminous color emanating from rectangular panels that appear to be torn paintings. Little tabletop stage sets for enigmatic dramas, enacted by doll-like figures and encased in plexiglass boxes. Life-size sculptures of classical figures and architectural elements in disarray. Lush, floral bouquets painted in bright, eccentric colors hot pink sunflowers, watery blue lily pads.
Roland Reiss cut a wide swath in his art over his long life, moving between painting and sculpture, abstraction and figuration, as his interests shifted over a 60-year career. If there was a through-line in such a diverse array of work, it was a simple commitment to engaging a viewer in the adventures of exploratory perception.

LOS ANGELES, CA
.- We are saddened to announce the death of Roland Reiss, artist and educator, loving husband, father, and grandfather, who passed away on Sunday, December 13, of natural causes in Los Angeles, at his home and studio at The Brewery Artist Lofts. He was 91.
Reiss is widely known for his miniatures but is foremost a painter. An influential and beloved voice in the Los Angeles and Southern California art scene, Reiss exhibited widely throughout his sixty-year career. He was included in the 1975 Whitney Biennial, documenta 7 (1982), and received fourteen solo museum exhibitions, including The Dancing Lessons: 12 Sculptures (1977) at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. A retrospective at the Begovich Gallery at Cal State Fullerton (2014) highlighted his career of continual self-reinvention, which led to a groundbreaking body of work.
