IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

  • Should you crack jokes in the office? According to Wharton research, a sense of humor, when deftly and appropriately used, can enhance workplace status and perception of one’s competence.
  • Sometimes, anger can be a gift. According to author and former Human Rights Campaign head Joe Solmonese, channeling anger in the right way “is oftentimes the catalyst for people doing something they didn’t think they could do.”
  • You worry about your mortgage going underwater — but what about your house? A recent study by Zillow finds that almost 1.9 million U.S. homes are at risk of being underwater by 2100 due to rising sea levels, creating significant impacts for the real estate sector.
