Quotation of the Day for February 21, 2011



"The most striking result from experience sampling is that almost all of the most pleasurable activities of the day take place outside of work--having sex, being with family, seeing friends, and so forth. The less pleasant aspects of the day involve activities associated with one's job, including commuting."

- Derek Bok, in his 2010 book The politics of happiness. [We needed "experience sampling" to tell us this? -eds.]
