To answer this question, Matthew Killingsworth, senior fellow at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business, collected 1.7 million data points from more than 33,000 participants who provided in-the-moment snapshots of their feelings during daily life.
In a paper in the
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Killingsworth confirms that money does influence happiness and, contrary to previous influential research on the subject suggesting that this plateaus above $75,000, there was no dollar value at which it stopped mattering to an individual’s well-being.

University of Illinois’ Coup D’état Project has tracked 426 realized coups, 336 attempted coups, and 181 coup conspiracies dating from 1945 to 2019, spanning 165 countries.
Should the U.S. be added to the list? Experts who track these sorts of political disruptions are still hashing that out.
The Coup D’état Project said until some questions can be clarified, calling last week a “destabilizing event” is appropriate. Some experts have suggested calling it a self-coup because of the president’s role in inspiring these events.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Natasha Ashton, co-founder and former CMO of Petplan, is joining the Board of Directors at
Houwzer, the all-in-one real estate company that is reimagining the brokerage model to better serve clients and agents alike. Ashton is an experienced branding and consumer expert who took a hands-on approach to growing her business into a nationally-recognized brand.
In 2001, Natasha and her husband, Chris, were students at the University of Pennsylvania s Wharton School of Business when their cat became sick.
