The Deliberate Edge, a study led by LSE's Professor @profpauldolan, looked at UK adults with Β£1 million or more in investable assets. Their anxiety score: 4.10 out of 10. The national average: 3.23. More money didn't switch off the worry.

Similarly, Dolan says we need to "stop fetishising economic growth at all costs", rather a more balanced approach. Likewise, he calls for "genuine social mobility" rather than simply focusing on "job progression". #LSEEvents
Prof Paul Dolan retweeted
Dolan say that narratives around what success looks like & financial pressures telling people they can "never earn enough money" can lead to increased dissatisfaction with one's lot. Argues we need "a more ambivalent approach" but "ambivalence makes poor stories" #LSEEvents

@profpauldolan is on a mission to 'break beliefism' - the idea that we have to hate people who we disagree with.
It was a pleasure to chat with him on his podcast recently about disagreeing well, performative politics and promoting wellbeing: buff.ly/2hM62s6

This is a great little book by @profpauldolan .
Just to have the concept of #beliefism more in the national consciousness would be an advantage to all of us.
But it should also be taught at schools, along with other vital concepts currently missing from a desperately tired national curriculum, like #socialcontagion #bayesianstatistics, etc.
Prof Paul Dolan retweeted
Message to all academics and university students from @profpauldolan 's important new book on #beliefism. The book itself, or at least its central message, should somehow be encoded in X and other SM algorithms or Ts and Cs.

Interesting debate about the culture wars @WildernessHQ with @SSteinLubrano @profpauldolan
Does debate generally make us more informed? Or is a lot of broadcast debate designed to provoke rage & ultimately benefit the media orgs? (No comment π« )
