Can Money Buy Happiness?
Provocative book: The Status Syndrome.
Author makes strong case that social standing is related to better health. He downplays genetics, compliance, environment--but doesn't ignore them completely. His answer to the question, Can money buy happiness? is a resounding yes.
Later on I'll post his interesting explanation of why Mimi dies of consumption, but not Rudolfo!
And his prescriptions for change. And examples of his felicitous writing.
***
The Namesake: Film is intelligent and well-acted, but slow. Good insights into Indian culture.
