Does the Truth Lie Within?
by Stephen J. Dubner and Steven D. Levitt
The Accidental Diet
Seth Roberts is a 52-year-old psychology professor at the University of California at Berkeley. If you knew Roberts 25 years ago, you might remember him as a man with problems. He had acne, and most days he woke up too early, which left him exhausted. He wasn't depressed, but he wasn't always in the best of moods. Most troubling to Roberts, he was overweight: at 5-foot-11, he weighed 200 pounds.
When you encounter Seth Roberts today, he is a clear-skinned, well-rested, entirely affable man who weighs about 160 pounds and looks 10 years younger than his age. How did this happen? ( Read more... )
I think I know what he means about having a better mood from seeing people in the morning than in the evening, but I'd never given it any thought.
