I’m	 appearing	 to	 accept	 an	 
odious	 premise—namely,	 
that	 joy	 must	 be	 justified	 
as	 a	 means	 to	 the	 end	 of	 
better	 academic	 
performance.	 Not	 so:	 

It’s	 an	 end	 in	 itself.

"The pursuit of happiness is not a solitary goal," said James Fowler, a researcher
at the University of California, San Diego. "We are connected,
and so is our joy."
The study, published in December 2008 in the British Medical Journal, suggests that living near a
friend who becomes happy increases
the probability of a person becoming
cheerful by 25 per cent.
