The Noticer is Noticing About Restaurants, Happiness & Headphones
More than half of people say they wouldn’t admit to an incorrect restaurant bill. Ever get a free order of fries? Lucky you! According to a recent study, when two items were missing on customers’ bills over half of the participants didn’t say anything. In addition, women were more likely to speak up about the error. Preston says he usually doesn’t bother to look at his bill. What about you? [source]
Under Pressure…to feel happy? A recent study found that people living in countries with the highest happiness scores actually felt more pressure to be happy. Which made them less happy! The study says it comes from comparing yourself to others and feeling like you aren’t happy enough. Some of the countries that ranked the highest for world happiness included Canada and the Netherlands. Don’t worry, be happy, but not too happy! [source]
Listening with headphones helps create a “closeness” better than speakers. Have you ever experienced that nagging voice in the back of your head? It’s not your conscious, don’t worry, it might just be from listening with headphones! A recent study shows that listening to spoken voices on headphones is better for comprehension. This comes from a phenomenon where a voice will sound like it’s inside your own head which makes you focus more. So if you want to hear all those fart jokes more clearly, listen to the Preston and Steve Podcast with headphones next time! [source]
