As I’ve learned more about how humans interact with one another at work, I’ve been repeatedly reminded that we are very easily influenced by the mood of those around us. It’s usually not even something we do consciously; we just see someone using a different tone of voice or shifting their body language, and something deep in our brain notices it. If you’ve ever attended a meeting where there were some “weird vibes,” you know what I’m talking about.

Michael Dugher wrote in the Times that the best way to help the 0.3% who are harmed by gambling is to focus on the 0.3% not the 99.7%. The premise being that we should focus on the small percentage harmed instead of regulating the industry. This is flawed and misguided on at least five counts. First, although 0.3% is an often used number but it isn’t credible, it is taken from a relatively small telephone survey (see [link] ), and many consider it a significant under estimate.
