Unclear on the Concept

The science news site Live Science offers a fine list in its "Health" section of the eight "biggest happiness findings" of 2017. The first is that sharing can help make kids happier. This may be true -- although the parental forcing of said sharing is not all that much fun, the sharing itself can often be, as shared enjoyment is multiplied enjoyment.

I don't know if that's the reason that sharing makes kids happier, nor do I know any of the remaining seven ways on the Live Science list. That's because it's in one of those individual slide formats where you have to advance each slide in order to read a piece of the article or learn the next item. And the ninth biggest happiness finding is that skipping lists in slide format is a lot more fun than wading through them.
