Science says chatting with strangers on your morning commute can make you happier

0
0

subway nycWe all tend to follow certain unspoken rules when taking public transportation: Use minimal eye contact, sit as far away from others as possible, and never engage in chit-chat with strangers.

But according to research conducted by behavioral scientists Nicholas Epley and Juliana Schroeder, mingling with strangers on your morning commute can improve your well-being.

While numerous studies have established that social connection improves happiness, most of the research focuses on "strong ties" — relationships with family or close friends. "We tested whether even minimal, 'weak ties,' like making a connection with a stranger could also improve well-being," Schroeder tells Business Insider.

To do this, Epley and Schroeder took their experiment to the subway. They randomly assigned three groups of commuters: One was instructed to connect with a stranger, one was asked to remain disconnected, and the control group commuted as they normally would.

While participants predicted their ride would be more enjoyable sitting in solitude, the research team found the exact opposite — those asked to engage in conversation reported a more positive, and no less productive, experience.

"What we find is that people misunderstand the consequences of connecting with a stranger compared to sitting in solitude," Epley says. "Specifically, they predict that they'll have a more pleasant experience on trains and buses if they just keep to themselves than if they engage a stranger in conversation, when in fact the exact opposite is true. Connecting with a stranger is surprisingly pleasant."

Why do we make this mistake and routinely ignore our fellow commuters?

"Essentially people think that others are less social than they actually are," he says. "It turns out that the person sitting next to you — even the one mindlessly thumbing their cell phone — is more interested in talking to you than you might think."

It's no secret that commuting impacts our overall health. According to a study published in Science, it is associated with fewer positive emotions than any other daily activity. But by avoiding contact, we're all following a collective assumption that solitude trumps interaction with strangers when, in fact, even the smallest forms of human connection matter.

So the next time you take public transportation, consider removing your headphones and "breaking the rules" — science says you'll be better off.

12 NYC restaurants Wall Street should absolutely check out this spring

0
0

Bowery Meat Company

Spring is almost upon NYC, so, foodies, step aside, Wall Street will be coming out in full force.

Prepare for a deluge as the luckiest of them depart Miami and return home to the city that never sleeps.

And those who had to stay up north will finally be ending their hibernation, just like the rest of us.

To welcome them, Business Insider put together a list of 12 restaurants Wall Streeters must check out in order to refamiliarize themselves with these snow-free city streets.

Some are date spots (like Navy), some are potential client spots (like Irvington), and others are just a really good time (like Belle Reve and Dirty French).

All of them have incredible food. But we've already said too much.

Irvington — W Hotel Union Square, 201 Park Ave South

Last year hospitality firm Gerber Group gave Wall Street a gift — The Roof at the Viceroy Hotel.

This year, they're bringing the magic to the first floor of the W Hotel Union Square with Irvington, a New American bar and restaurant with Mediterranean-influences, highlighting locally-sourced ingredients from the neighboring Union Square Greenmarket, and freshly rotisserie roasted meats.



Bowery Meat Company — 9 East 1st Street

It's a chic house of meat (which is a sentence I've always dreamed of typing).

Bowery Meat Club was started by a bunch of guys who wanted to build a palace to all things steak, pork and fowl.

What say you, Wall Street?



Dirty French — 180 Ludlow Street

Dirty French was one of the hottest openings of 2014 and its popularity has not abated. If you do manage to get a reservation, you'll enter a restaurant that has optimized opulence.

After all, it's a Mario Carbone and Rich Torrisi project.

As Eater genius reviewer Ryan Sutton pointed out, two tables had to be pushed together so waiters could set down his steak. The fish ain't little either.

17 beautiful pictures of automobile graveyards, where vintage cars are being reclaimed by nature

0

ForestPunk DieterKlein 01

Photographer Dieter Klein doesn't seem to be an automobile aficionado or a gearhead of any kind. So what draws Klein to travel Europe and the United States, exploring the forests and deserts with a camera in hand, searching for vintage cars that have been parked for good and left to rot? 

"More than an interest in the cars themselves, I was struck by the impact of this extraordinary process of transformation," Klein told Business Insider.

Dieter's images of automobile graveyards, places where abandoned cars slowly decay, show both the staying power of these classic cruisers and the strength of the nature around it, engulfing the machines and returning them back to the earth.

His photos have recently been compiled into a book, titled "Forest Punk," for sale now. Klein shared a selection of images and the stories behind them with us.

 

Klein discovered his unusual subject of choice by coincidence, he told Business Insider. He was on a trip to France when he happened upon an aging pickup truck parked and left for years in some bushes.



"It was about 80 years old and had been standing there undisturbed for a good 40 years," he said. "By that time it had pretty well been reclaimed by nature."



Klein says he wasn't much of a car person to be begin with, but the ruin piqued an interest. "The contradiction of nature and this man-made machinery to be left alone for decades in such impressive scenery left a strange impression on me," he said.

I read 'Fifty Shades of Grey' with my boyfriend and it changed our relationship

0
0

us

Let me start by explaining how this happened: My boyfriend, let's call him "Dave," and I are in a long-distance relationship. Therefore, we have to come up with activities that we can do together without actually being together.

Last month, he suggested we read a book. After discussing possible genres, then arguing over what constitutes a "good" mystery novel, I only half-jokingly suggested "50 Shades of Grey." After all, it was just in time for Valentine's Day and I had been seeing the seductive trailers for the film "50 Shades of Grey," based on the 2011 novel. I was admittedly more than a little curious.

To my surprise, Dave agreed, after a few seconds of hesitation. And here we are, more than 500 pages of mediocre plot and cringe-inducing porn later, and I must say that our relationship is better for it. Here's why:

Experts will tell you how important communication is for a healthy relationship, and while E.L. James's novel isn't the best piece of literature around, it's a classic example of a relationship gone sour because of poor communication.

As we read the book, Dave and I could objectively discuss where the main characters went wrong, who was to blame, and ultimately what they could have done to avoid the miserable situations they find themselves in by the end.

Fifty Shades Of GreyOver the course of our five-year relationship, Dave and I have had our fair share of arguments. Many of them spawned from miscommunication by one or both of us. And if you and your partner have ever fought because of some kind of miscommunication, then you know how difficult it is to see any side but your own.

Reading "50 Shades of Grey" gave Dave and me the unique chance to see each other's perspective on how couples should communicate.

More importantly, we were detached from the characters, thanks to their bizarre qualities and poor character development. This detachment meant that if we disagreed how one character acted or miscommunicated we could calmly discuss our opinions without getting into a heated dispute where someone's pride was left beaten on the floor.

During one memorable conversation we even managed to resolve a major misunderstanding we had early in our relationship.

For example, about two-thirds into the story, the two main characters, Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey, have an in-depth discussion on Steele's feelings about their relationship, which at that point has escalated from just sex to semi-serious. The discussion, however, is conducted through a series of back-and-forth emails.

50ShadesofGreyCoverArtDave strongly felt a conversation like that should take place in person and did not understand why the author had it happen any other way. While I agree a topic that important should be discussed in person, the emails were a perfect example of Steele's inability to express herself when she's with Grey.

As it turns out, I sent a few angry emails to Dave during our first year together because I, too, used to struggle with communicating my emotions. (I eventually stopped when I learned those emails ruined his entire day.)

As we discussed the example in the book, I mentioned my angry emails as a way to defend both the author's choice and Steele's actions. To my surprise, Dave had thought that I was sending those emails to be a killjoy. To his surprise, I'd sent those emails to communicate.

Needless to say, I was reminded of the importance of clear communication in a relationship and it's all thanks to a very unexpected source. Thanks, E.L. James.

What life is like at NYC's 'most interesting high school,' where students join the workforce and don't get grades

0
0

city-as-school, videograf

In the middle of a Tuesday afternoon, three teenage girls sit on the floor of a theatre production studio, hammering away at a four-legged tabletop. Behind them, a black wooden stage takes shape under the glare of ceiling-mounted lighting fixtures, which the young women also built.

This is not your typical home-economics class.

At City-As-School, an alternative public high school in New York City's Greenwich Village, students spend just two or three days a week in the classroom. The other half of the week, they go out into the field and work internships for academic credit. There are 48 alternative high schools in the city, though none offer such a robust apprenticeship program.

In addition to its emphasis on real-world learning, City-As-School challenges the status quo in a number of ways. Students complete a portfolio of papers and projects instead of taking tests. There are no grades, no statewide Regents examinations, and no class years. You graduate when you've completed your portfolio.

I recently spent the day at City-As-School to see what it's like to be one of "New York's most interesting kids," as the school's motto calls its students.

city-as-school, new york alternative public high school

Founded in 1972 with 15 students and a staff of four, City-As-School has grown from a church basement to a five-story brick schoolhouse.

Founding principal Frederick J. Koury opened the school because he believed education shouldn't just take place inside the four walls of a classroom. As a teacher at his previous school, he took students on field trips all the time. His aspiration with City-As-School was to turn New York City's five boroughs into a playground for experiential learning. He established contacts throughout the city, armed students with bus and subway tokens, and sent them on their way.

In an interview with Canarsie Digest in 1972, Koury described his school as something completely novel. "City-As-School is designed so that students will be forced to think and function independently," the article said. "There will be strange situations, people, and places, and there won't be someone constantly there to give direct instructions or tests."

what fred wants, city-as-school

Today, City-As-School students spend half of their time at one of 300 affiliated internship sites, where they earn academic credit in traditional subject areas like math, science, English, and history.

The rest of the week, they swarm these vibrant halls, which the administration repaints white annually, so incoming students have a fresh canvas.

city-as-school, new york alternative public high school

The school's unconventional and varied approach to learning accommodates an equally heterogeneous group of kids. Most students arrive between the ages of 17 and 18, after completing ninth and tenth grades at other schools.

The come for a variety of reasons: Bullies taunted them for their piercings, tattoos, or sexual orientation. A tough home life or an unexpected pregnancy forced them to grow up too soon. They were bored. They were overwhelmed.

City-As-School students missed, on average, more than 40 days of school in their previous academic year. Half rely on food stamps to survive, and another 10% of students live in temporary housing, foster homes, or on the street.

When Anthony, 22, was a ninth grader, a known gang member robbed him across the street from his Bronx high school. The Department of Education granted Anthony a "safety transfer," giving him the choice to relocate to a New York City public school of his choosing.

At his next school, his grades started to slip. He fell in with the wrong crowd and got kicked off the basketball team. His mother coaxed him into trying night school for his second round of junior year, but the bearded, tattooed older men in the class scared him.

"I had a wall up," Anthony says. "No expression on my face. I didn't talk. I was exhausted and disappointed I was still in school at age 20."

city-as-school, new york alternative public high school

Anthony eventually landed at City-As-School, which his aunt once attended. Everything changed. He made friends with shared interests. Teachers asked him to call them by their first names, and treated him like an adult. His internship at a children's culinary institute taught him to prep food like a seasoned line cook and to speak to groups with confidence.

Anthony, who once disliked school and the person he was becoming, is on track to graduate this spring. He dreams of studying forensic science and playing basketball at Ithaca College.

City-As-School, commonly referred to as a "transfer school," has implemented several measures to help struggling students like Anthony succeed. That's why more than 60% of its students — many of whom were once on the brink of dropping out  — graduate in a six-year window.

Some teachers bring New York City bagels and fresh fruit to first period. "It's the only way we can get them here so early," one instructor tells me.

city-as-school, new york alternative public high school

Students are graded on a credit/no-credit basis, rather than receiving letter grades. Teachers say this model rewards students who engage and do the work, rather than punish students who maybe studied the wrong thing before a test or were out sick with a cold during an important lesson.

city-as-school, new york alternative public high school

Once a week, students go to "advisory," an informal gathering with one teacher and about 10 of their peers. It's an opportunity for students to discuss their internship experiences and whatever else is on their minds. For many, advisory becomes a little family.

city-as-school, new york alternative public high school

The career development office not only shepherds students through the college application process, but it follows up with recent alumni after graduation. Only 20% of all full-time students in the US who matriculate into community college get a degree within three years, so Ummi Modeste, a veteran City-As-School staffer, checks in with City-As-School grads to see that they're on track.

city-as-school, new york alternative public high school

City-As-School provides easy access to quality mental healthcare, as well. The school is unusual in that it employs two guidance counselors, two social workers, and one school psychologist,  who all hold sessions in the building.

Social worker Veronica Savage says low self-esteem affects many students who step into her office.

"There are students who come here, having received messages [their whole lives] that they don't know how to learn," she says. Students may think there's one right answer, or one right path to graduation. But there are many ways to finish, Savage says.

No one appreciates City-As-School's flexibility more than Savage, who graduated from City-As-School years ago. After she failed one class at her previous high school, teachers told her she wouldn't graduate on time. Savage enrolled here because she believed one slip-up shouldn't jeopardize her future.

veronica savage, city-as-school

Of course, the most unusual way City-As-School ensures students' success is by awarding them academic credit for completing internships. It's the only school under the New York City Department of Education's jurisdiction with permission to do so.

Teachers double as "internship coordinators" by identifying opportunities throughout the city, pairing students with companies, and supervising students' progress via email and phone calls.

Each internship in City-As-School's catalogue satisfies one or more academic requirement. Need a science credit? Volunteer as a school-group guide at the American Museum of Natural History. A culinary credit? Learn to bake doughnuts at growing city bakery Dough. A tech credit? Disect the intersection of internet and culture at Red Bull Studios, where hip young artist and alum Ryder Ripps pays forward the opportunities City-As-School once gave him. It's these special and forward-thinking opportunities that make City-As-School so unique.

Teachers and administrators tell me that this model enables learners of all types to grasp new skills, gain confidence, and practice professional behaviors.

city-as-school, videograf

As Nia, 18, hammers at the legs of a tabletop at Videograf, the indie theatre production studio where she and three peers intern, she laughs and teases the other girls about their craftsmanship. She tends to fall into a leadership role, being the kind of person who calls her friends in the morning to make sure they get out of bed.

On her first day at Videograf, Nia helped senior producer Michael Frenchman build a desk for the control room. "I was using my hands. I felt like I was in the Village People," Nia jokes. Since then, she's outfitted the stage with all sorts of technical equipment and created tutorials so future interns can learn how to operate the camera, sound, and lighting fixtures.

An aspiring multimedia professional, Nia says her internship doubled as "corporate espionage." She learned the inner workings of a company in the same industry she hopes to pursue a career in after college graduation. (This winter, she applied to no fewer than 21 colleges, including Oberlin, Brown, and Skidmore.)

During a tea and biscuits break at Videograf, Nia sat down to tell me about how she arrived here. She says she wasn't a "bad student" at her previous high school, nor was she desperate for credits. That stereotype follows many of her peers.

She chose City-As-School because of what it offered: a refuge for individuals. "We're not the rejects," she says.

The majority of men deal with hair loss.

In fact, two-thirds of American men will experience some sort of hair loss by the time they're 35, according to the American Hair Loss Association.
