AT THIS HOUR
Friday Morning Forum On The Business Of Our Behavior
“I love a good nap. Sometimes it’s the only thing getting me out of bed in the morning.”
— George Costanza
55,000: The number of people in our study of 63,210 who are still betting on sports three years after we started tracking their behaviors. Results and outcomes here:
Science: Depression levels were markedly lower among this cohort after a small but interesting study on how people feel day to day over a month. Any guesses….here is the story.
Sport: A screening of The Boston Bulldogs documentary will be coming to Cape Cod mid July and feature a special sports guest moderator, Trenni Casey of NBC Sports Boston, plus a musical performance. Event is July 16, 7pm, LCTV Studios, Orleans Mass. Register here as seats are limited. Watch a new 8-minute preview of the film here.
Policy: Reimbursement for mental health therapy is getting a makeover from some healthcare insurers who are promoting single session therapy sessions in its place. What gives and what it means here in this story.
Perspective: I have a back up column today, about what else - backups - the good, bad and ugly, and what we should do about it.
