From Huff Post:
This winter, I conducted a survey to my awesome community probing a number of critical life and career questions. 700 people have responded so far, and their answers have been fascinating to read. It’s not that I don’t ask these questions of my clients and my course members - I do. But what’s so intriguing to me is that it’s becoming more and more obvious that the things we humans desperately long for today are not only universal and timeless, but also have become even more elusive and impossible to sustain, even as we “evolve” and develop in this tech-frenzied, time-crushing world.
The key question this survey probed was this:
“If you could say in one word what you want more of in life, what would that be?”
(If you’d like to take my survey, please do. I’d love your personal insights - here’s the link.)
Of all the things people indicated they want more of, the following were the 10 most frequently mentioned. Here’s my take on what’s missing in life and work today, and why we can’t get enough of these precious ingredients. (The quotes below are from actual respondents, about what they perceive to be the biggest challenge in the way of what they’re longing for):

Oh noooooo.
Of the more than three million NCAA Tournament brackets entered on Yahoo, no one’s has more points than James Kiki’s. He nailed some early upsets. He had seven of the Elite Eight teams correct. He has a perfect Final Four. He is tied with two other people for first overall, just three games away from a $50,000 grand prize. James Kiki will not win. Here is his bracket. He forgot to pick a national champion.

MARCH 29--In what may be a new record for driving with a spouse clinging to the roof of a car, a Florida man was arrested last week after  traveling six miles with his wife atop his vehicle, cops say.
According to investigators, Richard Addy, 69, and his wife Elizabeth argued early Tuesday morning after they had consumed “several drinks over the course of the night” at a pair of bars. Richard told cops that he eventually decided to “leave the scene” without his 50-year-old spouse.

OAKDALE, Calif. (KCRA) —You can call it a labor of love that's giving 14-year-old Cody Mitschelin the motivation to mow lawns to earn money to take his girlfriend out on a date.
Cody's girlfriend, Audrey Fierro, whom he describes as charming and beautiful, is the reason Cody began approaching his neighbors in Oakdale, like Ryan Cox and Timmy Jaramillo, with the hopes of earning enough cash to take Audrey out on their first official date.
"I told him no, right off the get," said Cox, who already has a lawn service.

From ABC7 Buffalo:
We all know kids have been spending less and less time outdoors. But children's outdoor time has become so limited these days, even prisoners are shocked.
A new survey funded by laundry detergent brand Persil found 1 in 3 children in the U.K. spend less time outside than inmates in maximum security prisons.
The poll questioned more than 12,000 parents of children between the ages of 5 and 12 years old in 10 different countries. And in the U.K., researchers found almost a third of children play outside for 30 minutes or less on an average day, and 1 in 5 don't venture outdoors at all.

Bravo?
Are you brave enough to eat the new burger at the Atlanta Braves’s stadium, in which the buns are two pepperoni pizzas?
The $26 concession offering, creatively named “Burgerizza,” is described as a “grilled 20-oz. all-beef patty, covered with five slices of cheddar cheese, topped with crispy bacon, and served between two 8-inch pepperoni pizzas.” When asked how many calories it has, a spokesperson for the food service company Delaware North said “We have not calculated that, but we do know the taste is off the charts!”

If your head is spinning when it comes to vitamin pills, here's a way to simplify: You can probably drop any of the following pills from your regimen, says Lorraine Maita, MD, a physician in Summit, NJ, and diplomate of the American Academy of Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine.

From Bustle.com:
If you're perfectly happy having a very small circle of friends, it might be a sign that you're smart. A new study says that more intelligent people are better off with fewer friends. Yeah, this would have been a great thing to know in middle school.
This information comes from a study published in the British Journal of Psychology. Researchers explain that, in many ways, humans are still innately suited to lead the sort of hunter-gatherer lifestyle our early ancestors enjoyed, and that thing that would have made them happy still make us happy, too — it's a theory known as the "savanna theory of happiness." In keeping with this, they found that people's overall happiness and satisfaction tends to decline in very densely populated areas, but that it tends to increase the more social interactions they have. In other words, we're more or less wired to be happy living a life where we interact extensively with a select group of people who are the only ones around.

From Scientific American:
I’ve always thought that newborns are kind of ugly, so it didn’t surprise me that my first child looked lobster-red and angry after he was born, and not particularly adorable.
Twenty-four hours later, I had a long look at my baby and realized, to my astonishment, that he was exceptionally beautiful. I don’t believe that my baby’s appearance changed that much in one day, but my perception did. I used to think that my perceptual shift was the result of being drunk on oxytocin—a hormone involved in maternal bonding—but a new paper by Viola Störmer and George Alvarez from Harvard University suggests that my conversion may have resulted, at least partly, from my paying attention.

It’s a bra that comes with a life-saving boost.
A year ago, mother-of-two Jennifer Cutrona was off running on her favorite trail near her home in Texas – earbuds in and her mind focused on an upcoming marathon – when a man suddenly leapt out from the woods and tried to grab her.
“I got away from the guy, but was extremely upset at how oblivious I had been to this possibility,” Cutrona told FoxNews.com. “I did not want to listen to anyone who would try to scare me from being free to run my favorite spots.”

From Thrillist.com:
You're aware that getting enough sleep is important because of, you know, work and functioning and stuff. But the quality and length of your sleep also affect things like your sex life, your mood, and your weight, so if you weren’t convinced that sleeping well mattered before, the stakes just got raised.
Of course, if getting a good night of sleep were easy, you'd be a high-functioning, successful, happy person. If sleep's a problem, though, try out one of these strategies for heading to dreamland faster, and waking up more energized.
Wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends
"It’s a good idea to train your body to wake up around the same time every day -- unfortunately, this means weekends as well," Amwell psychiatrist Dr. Jennifer Gentile says. "Sadly, our bodies weren't built for weekends: we're routine beings, animals at heart, and we need to respect that."
That said, she acknowledges that you have to do what you can while realistically considering your lifestyle. "Make the best environment to help you sleep that you can," Dr. Gentile notes. "Like with flossing, you're supposed to do it every day, but your dentist will tell you that three times a week is better than not at all."

These are exciting times for Name of the Year. Since we spoke to you last, several of our past winners have found themselves back in the headlines. Steele Sidebottom, the People’s Choice in the 2010 contest, recently inked a five-year contract extension with the Australian Football League’s Collingwood Magpies. Hector “Macho” Camacho, the first ever NOTY winner (and, let’s be honest, a minnow compared to today’s contenders), earned a posthumous induction into the Boxing Hall of Fame. Most significantly, 2001 champ Tokyo Sexwale tossed in his legendary name for FIFA’s presidential race, though he later withdrew it. “It’s your problem now,” he said of soccer’s famously corrupt governing body.

New York, N.Y. — It’s been fifty-nine years, but it feels like a day, since The Cat in the Hat came to our house to play. Clearly the book has stood the test of time, as our feline friend and his “Things” are U.S. adults’ top unprompted choice when asked to name their favorite book from childhood. Runner up for the win is another beloved Dr. Seuss classic, good old Green Eggs and Ham. Further solidifying the good Dr.’s impact on American childhoods, unspecific mentions of Dr. Seuss outpaced mentions of any single work he published.
These are some of the results of The Harris Poll® of 2,193 U.S. adults surveyed online between January 13 and 18, 2016.

From OK Cupid:
If you’ve ever dated anyone, you know that dating inherently (er, ideally) involves people with a mutual interest in each other. But to get things started, someone has to make the first move. In the physical world, maybe that means a subtle wink. Or presenting the other with an elaborately carved spoon. In online dating, it’s all about likes, swipes, and sending the first message.
Traditionally, men take the initiative. At least that’s what we can discern from most examples of romance in Western culture. On OkCupid however, women and men exhibit similar behavior when it comes to liking, browsing and having conversations. The playing field is also pretty even: there are 1.5 men for every woman on the site. These women are progressive too, with 43 percent of women preferring to split the check (compared to 17 percent of men).

AUGUSTA — Police say a city woman bought a large kitchen knife, stabbed her husband with it when he came home from work, and then stabbed him again as she drove him to the hospital Friday afternoon.
Tracy L. Fleischer, 34, had an initial court hearing Monday at the Capital Judicial Center via video from the Kennebec County jail where a judge set her bail at $75,000 cash, with conditions that prohibit her from having contact with the victim and her three children, at least one of which police say saw the stabbing at the home.

Frederick Callison has been using his piece of prime real estate outside a Sacramento, California, grocery store to actively seek work for the past two years — and it finally paid off, with a little help from one man who brought attention to the effort.
Michael Marteen noticed Callison while shopping at a Smart & Final store with his fiancee, Sandra Canto, and two daughters, Adrian, 9, and Santi, 1, on Feb. 24. Accustomed to seeing homeless people ask for food or money, Marteen found it refreshing to witness someone making an effort to find work despite difficult circumstances.

You might think that because you faithfully compare prices online before buying, dutifully download coupons to your phone, and vigilantly watch for deep discounts on yesterday's inventory as new models appear in stores, you're getting the best deals you possibly can.
Still, for some products, deep discounts go by the calendar. Consumer Reports product research experts, who track prices all year long, have compiled a list of items that are typically discounted most deeply in March. If you have some extra cash on hand this month–say, a tax refund–and are looking to spend it wisely on some needed products, you can make your money go a long way by buying the products that are on this list. And in addition to these goods, you can also find good deals on spring travel in March.

To a 2-year-old girl in South Carolina, struggling to get dressed is an emergency.
The Greenville County Sheriff's Office says the child called 911, asking for help getting dressed. Her parents didn't know she had made the call.
Deputy Martha Lohnes was in the vicinity of the home and met the girl at the front door. Lohnes says the girl's pants weren't quite up to her waist and she said she couldn't get them on.
Lohnes said she helped the little girl put her pants on. After that, the deputy said the little girl asked Lohnes to pick her up and hug her. Lohnes called that the best part of her shift.

From WalletHub.com:
Americans pride themselves on hard work. Our strong work ethic, after all, is what helped to build the world’s most powerful economy — a status that is likely to remain unchallenged. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, we are 400 percent more productive today than in 1950. Were we lazier then? Not at all. On the contrary, midcentury Americans worked nearly 205 hours more per year than we did in 2011. All of our productivity gains in recent decades simply resulted from rapid technological growth that allowed us to increase automation and efficiency.
Still, research shows we work 20 percent more hours yet are still less productive than our European peers. America’s obsession with higher output has indeed landed our nation at the top of the global food chain, but it’s also led to our image as workaholic robots, working longer days, taking fewer vacations and retiring much later. Only one in five Americans even step out for lunch these days while the Spaniards enjoy up to three-hour midday breaks to eat, nap and smell the rosas. Other countries follow a similar daily ritual of R&R.
