| Happy New Year everyone. Things can only get better from here, right?
Wrong.
It is my unfortunate duty to share with you the findings of the most profoundly depressing – if important – academic research you may read all year.
For a few years now, as the burdens of mid-life have piled up – the house bills, the childcare fees, the demands of juggling work and parenting – I have taken solace from research suggesting human happiness is U-shaped over a lifetime.
