A single standout trait — good looks, an impressive job title, the voice of authority — tends to bleed into how we judge everything else about someone. This ‘halo effect’, first measured by Thorndike in 1920, still shapes hiring decisions, courtrooms and first impressions

Most of us think we judge people piece by piece. Her work is one thing, her warmth another, his honesty a third, and we weigh each separately like a careful juror.

People who keep the same four or five books on their nightstand for years without ever finishing them aren’t disorganised, they’ve built a small stack of objects that quietly means the day is allowed to end

The pile of unread books next to the bed isn't a failed reading list — it's a small architecture of objects doing the emotional work of ending the day. Here's what psychologists understand about why we keep the same books nearby for years without ever finishing them. Read more

Psychology says the men who are genuinely, deeply unhappy in their 40s and 50s rarely look unhappy from the outside—they look fine, functional, even successful—and what they’re actually carrying is the weight of a life that no longer feels like their own

Some forms of unhappiness do not stop a man getting to work on time. They do not empty his calendar, end his marriage or make him visibly fall apart. From the outside, he may look organised, dependable and successful. The difficulty is precisely that the visible machinery of his life keeps working. We are writers, ... Read more Read more

Scientists spent decades treating Olympus Mons as a dead volcano, a frozen relic three times the height of Everest that stopped erupting long ago, until they found morning frost on its summit and signs that something below is still pushing it higher

Olympus Mons on Mars is 22 kilometres tall and 600 kilometres wide, with slopes so shallow that a person standing on it would see only flat ground to the horizon. The geometry of the largest volcano in the solar system defeats human perception. Read more
