The "Progress Paradox": How life gets better while people feel worse.
It's actually a book. I find it is a very dry read, so I have moved onto other things.
Basically, life is getting "better" because of technology such as the Internet, computers, better healthcare, better schooling, better and safer workplaces, yet as a society we are on a progressive downhill trend when it comes to happiness. People are feeling more stressed out and depressed, despite the fact that life has gotten better.
Why is that so?
Different type of paradox than what you guys are discussing at the moment, but all the same.
