The small exercise that's a powerful mood booster
Counting our blessings is an age-old piece of advice –
but it turns out that writing lists of good things that
happen to us actually does help improve our mood.
Of all the interventions brought to us by psychological
research, I think this is probably my favourite. It's both
simple and well-evidenced. And as such, it has become
well-known.
There are various names for it – three good things, three
blessings or a gratitude list. There are variations too in
the exact instructions given, but essentially the exercise
involves spending a few moments in the evening
reflecting on your day, then writing down three things
that went well or that you enjoyed. The final element is
to think about why these things felt positive to you. You
can choose anything, however small and seemingly
inconsequential. Perhaps you bumped into a friend you
hadn’t seen for a while? Perhaps you and a colleague
laughed about something together. Perhaps you
enjoyed your walk home from the station in lovely early
evening light.
Alternatively, you could include something much more
significant, perhaps even life-changing. Like passing an
important exam, or getting a promotion, or hearing that
a relative is going to have a baby.
Counting your blessings is of course a very old idea, and
exercises of this kind had been used clinically for some
time. The initial research investigating whether any of us
might use this method in everyday life to improve our
wellbeing was published in 2005 by Martin Seligman
and Chris Peterson, two major figures in the field of
positive psychology.
The study involved 577 people who were randomly
assigned to different groups. As a placebo, one group
had to write every evening about their early memories
from childhood. Other groups were given different
interventions to try out. In the arm of the trial that
interests us, people were asked to list three things that
had gone well that day and what caused them to go well.
Over the next few months, the volunteers in all the
groups were given scales to measure their happiness.
The results were impressive. Notably, within a month,
the people who were assigned the three good things
task began to show improvements in their happiness
levels as well as a decrease in depressive symptoms –
with the positive effects lasting for the six months of the
study.
Meanwhile those in the placebo group saw a brief spike
in happiness in the first week, but their mood soon
returned to baseline, and there was no change at the six
month follow up.
One reason that the three good things strategy can work
is because it begins to counter the hard-wired tendency
we have as humans to register and remember the
negative rather than the positive. There's a strong
evolutionary reason why we think this way: it's vital for
our survival. So, we hardly notice if a small cat is
following us up the street, but if it was a lion we certainly
would. Our brains are primed for danger in order to
keep us safe. Which is fine, except that in a world of war
and suffering, hatred and division – all of which we can instantly access on our phones – this negativity bias can
overwhelm us.
An important element of the three good things exercise
is that it helps us to focus on the positive in a concrete
way. And although I've been suggesting it's an end-ofthe-day exercise, its real strength lies in the fact that the
impact soon begins to spread through the day. You find
yourself searching out good things to add to your list
from the moment you get up. (Whenever I get my
favourite seat at the front of the top deck of the bus I
think to myself, that's one for my list. How lucky!) And
before you know it you are training yourself not only to
look out for threats, but for good things too.

How to Make a Cup of Green Tea
To prepare a cup of green tea, follow these steps. First, boil water to about 80°C (176°F); avoid using boiling water as it can make the tea taste bitter. Place a green tea bag or one teaspoon of loose green tea leaves into a cup. Pour the hot water over the tea and let it steep for 2 to 3 minutes. Do not steep for too long, as this can affect the flavor. After steeping, remove the tea bag or strain the leaves. Finally, enjoy your tea plain or add a touch of honey if you prefer a bit of sweetness.

Gabriele Tinti’s Hungry Ghosts is a cycle of 51 poems
written in collaboration with the photographer Roger Ballen,
whose photographic negatives are reproduced in the book.
The images are mostly terrifying, in keeping with the
otherworldly inclination of the poems. This bilingual edition
includes Tinti’s original Italian poems with English translations
by David Graham, interspersed with Greek lines taken from
inscriptions found on archaeological objects and from ancient
Greek texts.
The book is inspired by the Petavatthu, a Theravada
Buddhist scripture that includes stories about the realm of the
“hungry ghosts,” a category of supernatural beings ubiquitous in
East and South Asian religions, with section headings such as
“Abandoned Ghosts,” “Protectors,” “Guardians,” and “Hungry
Ghosts.” T he poems are quite short and try to emulate the
obscure, esoteric quality of scriptural language, though they
struggle, at times, under the weight of too many venerable
references drawn from both Buddhist and Greek traditions.

The word “though” (last sentence of the second paragraph) is used to introduce a concessive clause.

Four types of English exist in Africa, identifiable in terms of history, functions, and linguistic characteristics. West African Pidgin English has a history going back to the 15th century, 400 years before formal colonization. Creole varieties of English have a history going back to repatriation of enslaved people from the Caribbean and the United States of America in the 19th century. Second language varieties, which are the most widespread on the continent, are prototypically associated with British colonization and its education systems. L1 (first language) English occurred mostly in Southern and East Africa and is best represented in South Africa. The latter shows significant similarities with the other major Southern Hemisphere varieties of English, spoken in Australia and New Zealand.

“Certainly, here is a possible introduction for your topic...”,
began a recent article in Surfaces and Interfaces, a scientific
journal. Attentive readers might have wondered who exactly that
bizarre opening line was addressing. They might also have wondered
whether the article was written by a human or by a machine.
It is a question ever more readers of scientific papers are
asking. LLMs (Large Language Models) are now more than good
enough to help write a scientific paper. They can breathe life into
dense scientific prose and speed up the drafting process, especially
for non-native English speakers. Such use also comes with risks:
LLMs are particularly susceptible to reproducing biases, for
example, and can churn out vast amounts of plausible nonsense.

What the Paris Olympics opening ceremony really
meant
The opening ceremony of the Olympic
Games traditionally offers the host city the
opportunity to celebrate sporting excellence and
international unity while also presenting to the world
a flattering portrait of its own nation, informed by its
own culture. [...]
[...] Entitled ‘Ça ira’ (‘It’ll be all right’), the show
garnered mixed reviews in the French press. It was
described variously as magical or catastrophic, as an
astonishing apotheosis or a distressing accumulation
of kitsch. Lady Gaga performed up and down a flight
of stairs, dressed in feathers. The French singer
Philippe Katerine, covered in blue body paint and
dressed up as Bacchus, reclined in a platter of fruit.
A threesome blossomed in the Bibliothèque
Nationale. Decapitated figures of Marie-Antoinette
holding their singing heads appeared at the windows
of the Conciergerie. A floating piano was set on fire.
The ceremony was conceived over two years by a
committee made up of historian Patrick Boucheron
(a member of the prestigious research institute, the
Collège de France), the scriptwriter Fanny Herrero
(creator of the Netflix series 10 Pour Cent/Call My
Agent), the novelist Leïla Slimani (winner of the
Goncourt literary prize for her novel Chanson
douce/Lullaby), and the dramatist Damien Gabriac,
who were all assembled in 2022 by the event’s
master of ceremonies, theatre director Thomas Jolly.
to co-write the script of their celebration of France.
[...]
The man behind Le Puy du Fou is entrepreneur and
politician Philippe de Villiers. Although de Villiers
briefly served as Secretary of State for Culture under
Socialist President François Mitterand, he is
currently a member of French nationalist party
Reconquête!, whose leader is the far-right firebrand
Eric Zemmour. De Villiers is a Christian traditionalist
who has expressed hostility towards Islam and has
maintained that during the French Revolution a
political ‘genocide’ was perpetrated against the
Royalist people of Vendée.
It was therefore important for Jolly and his team
firmly to distance their own project from Le Puy du
Fou and to offer instead, as Jolly said: ‘the opposite
of a virile, heroic and providential history’, of ‘an ode
to grandeur’ or to the ‘manifestation of force’.
Besides de Villiers’ theme park, another anti-model
may have been the opening ceremony of the 2023
Rugby World Cup. Hosted by the popular actor Jean
Dujardin and featuring a playful celebration of
traditional French life, it was criticised for portraying
a nostalgic and ‘rancid’ version of France. To be sure,
at a time when France is politically and culturally
riven, it would have seemed important to tell a
national story that would unite rather than divide. In
contrast, Jolly aimed for a celebration of ‘planetary
multi-ethnicity’. But was it not in hindsight a mistake,
a missed opportunity, to throw out, for fear that it
might be politically toxic, anything that might be
perceived as a celebration of French history, or the
shared heritage that binds all French people
together?
Patrick Boucheron, the historian in Jolly’s team, has
declared his ‘resistance’ to the idea of a ‘roman
national’, the strengthening story a nation
collectively weaves about itself – the word roman
meaning in this instance at once a narrative and a
romance. Boucheron favours instead a decentring of
national consciousness and a deconstruction of
national history. There was always a danger in
rejecting historical greatness for ideological reasons.
Louis XIV and Napoleon Bonaparte – both absent
from the celebration – really do belong to all French;
including them in the narrative would not have made
it reactionary. Meanwhile Jolly’s desire
systematically to foreground pop culture in order not
to appear elitist often felt parochial. What is the
long-term cultural significance of Nicky Doll, Paloma
and Piche, stars of the reality show Drag Race
France? Was the performance of John Lennon’s song
Imagine really, as a sports historian declared in the newspaper Libération, ‘heavy with meaning’
because of its nature as a ‘political and cultural
allegory’?
Wasn’t it also a pity not to celebrate France’s
contemporary achievements, especially the
rebuilding of Notre-Dame after its devastation by
fire, and the Grand Paris Express transport network
being developed for better integration of central
Paris and its banlieues?
But above all, what was missing from the show, with
rare exceptions – such as the sight of the Olympic
cauldron rising into the sky tethered to a gigantic hot
air balloon – was beauty. This signalled a lack of
cultural confidence on the part of the ceremony’s
storytellers. It was telling, for example, that Marcel
Proust, one of France’s most exceptional writers,
was featured as a caricatured carnival head,
alongside Little Red Riding Hood and Marcel
Marceau. Nor was placing the ceremony under the
auspices of ‘Ça ira’, a 1790 anthem of the French
Revolution as familiar to the French as the
Marseillaise, an expression of intellectual
confidence. Like the Marseillaise, ‘Ça ira’ is a call to
violence – an ode to the systematic hanging of
aristocrats from lamp-posts – and insisting, as Jolly
did, that it can be reframed as a message of hope and
of ‘union and unity within diversity’ is meaningless.
Ultimately, whether any of this landed with its
audience remains doubtful. In spite of the driving
rain, the French enjoyed the show’s wackiness, the
party atmosphere, the excitement and anticipation
of the Games. And the Games themselves were a
wonderful success. But a message was sent
nevertheless. And now that the Olympic truce is
over, Emmanuel Macron must once again face up to
a divided nation
