Does education cause happiness? Does happiness lead to more education? Are there 3rd or 4th variables which cause both happiness and a higher level of eduction?

Talk Deeply, Be Happy? Would people be happier if they spent more time discussing the state of the world and the meaning of life — and less time talking about the weather?

Dr. Mehl wants to see if people can actually make themselves happier by having more substantive conversations.
