A study conducted by Professor Michael Slepian of Columbia University suggests that keeping positive secrets can be energizing for individuals. The research, involving approximately 4,000 participants in five experiments, found that people felt more in control and excited about positive secrets, even when they didn't intend to reveal them. Previous studies on secrecy had focused on negative secrets and their impact on well-being, but this research highlights the positive effects of keeping secrets. Slepian's findings indicate that positive secret-keeping is motivated by intrinsic reasons and the anticipation of eventual revelation.

Positive secrets were often kept for personal enjoyment and to create exciting surprises. The study challenges the notion that secrecy is inherently detrimental to well-being and suggests that positive secrets can have positive psychological effects.

A new book by scientist and writer John Hands argues that most existential threats to humankind have a low or negligible probability of coming true, and that there are many reasons to be optimistic about the future. Hands suggests that altruism, creativity, and a convergence of ideas have helped to foster human cooperation, allowing us to evolve from being in tribes to creating global organisations like the United Nations. He also offers cautious optimism about us confronting environmental challenges, and argues that the more we think about these things, the more action we can take.
