Thank you for writing this Joel! I appreciate you sharing your experiences so I can understand better what it is like to work as an EA researcher. Every field of research I’ve engaged in has had its unique difficulties and challenges. I see that you are a quantitative researcher, but I am wondering whether you have integrated qualitative approaches into your research also? With a topic so subjective as happiness, it seems it could be helpful towards understanding your quantitative findings and in making projections?
