Introvert or Extrovert?
According to this article society is under-appreciative of introverts and tends to see extroversion as 'better'. This information is extrapolated from the fight that broke out in the almost-all-extrovert Big Brother house. I have one question. Who, exactly, would watch a Big Brother house filled with introverts? (Yes, yes a balance is better - I'm trying to fight meaningless rhetoric with meaningless rhetoric here, give me a chance!)

A nation of workaholics
Madeleine Bunting examines our culture of overwork in her new book "Willing Slaves". While not a psychologist (as far as I know) she has some valid points to make about the strains of the modern workplace. In this extract she talks about the stresses on what she calls 'emotional workers'. Those call centre workers who are told to treat callers as though they were recently bereaved.

Less smiling is more
Here's some contrarian advice for you: smile less. Of course I'm not referring to the natural smile, but to the fake smile. To varying degrees we can all detect fake smiles in other people. If the skin around the eyes doesn't crease and the eyebrows don't pull down the smile is probably fake. Smiling without genuine feeling makes a person appear insincere and their real smile may get lost among their pale imitations. The Russians know what I'm talking about...

Psychoanalysts line up for therapeutic row
"Ever since Freud invented psychoanalysis it has been a discipline with enough factions to fill a Monty Python sketch. Dr China says the college is simply an attempt to bring the factions together: 'Psychoanalysis in this country has been riven ever since it began.'"
