IN FOCUS - this week's read:
In the last few years, psychologists and researchers have been digging up hard data on a question previously left to philosophers: What makes us happy? Researchers like the father-son team Ed Diener and Robert Biswas-Diener, Stanford psychologist Sonja Lyubomirsky, and ethicist Stephen Post have studied people all over the world to find out how things like money, attitude, culture, memory, health, altruism, and our day-to-day habits affect our well-being.

HAPPINESS FEED
Karma Cafe operates on a “pay what you feel” model, allowing customers to determine the value of the experience. Established as a nonprofit, Karma Cafe uses the tagline “Where Everyone Eats,” and founder and President Wade McCullough means it. Diners can technically leave without spending a dime, and perhaps some have. But others always seem to make up the difference.
This place rocks and so does the food!

OPENS FEBRUARY 10TH - maybe not here, but be on the lookout for it.
“I grew up in Istanbul and I believe my childhood was infinitely less lonesome than it would have been if it werenʼt for cats — and I wouldnʼt be the person I am today. They were my friends and confidants and I missed their presence in all the other cities I ever lived in. This film is, in many ways, a love letter to those cats and the city, both of which are changing in ways that are unpredictable.” - Ceyda Torun, Director
