Happiness Pills? Yes! Say Researchers but Can You Get Them?

Researchers at the Nakamoto Brain Sciences Research Institute in Tokyo announced today the discovery of a happiness pill.

The pill, called Manzoku, gives people a “sense of contentment,” according to Owarai Kusa, the project’s lead scientist.

According to Mr. Kusa the pill is a major breakthrough compared to traditional feel-good drugs such as alcohol and stimulants such as cocaine because it’s not addictive and you do not develop a tolerance for it, which typically leads to increasing dosage requirements.

Imagine, for a moment, this strange scenario: You head off to a big university to learn what you need to know to pursue your dream career.

When you get to school, they give you a big catalog of courses filled with of all sorts of interesting topics that catch your eye. There’s that course in French literature you’ve always dreamed of, the course in anthropology your friend told all about, and you remember your dad telling you how great the courses in electrical engineering he took were. So you decide to take those courses and see how it goes.
