The 2025 study that says your paycheck isn't the secret to happiness.

A 90-second read that could change how you spend NEXT weekend — plus, we tucked in some exclusive savings you won't want to miss.

The 2025 World Happiness Report — put together by Oxford's Wellbeing Research Centre using Gallup World Poll data from 142 countries — found that how many meals a person shares with others is an exceptionally strong predictor of their subjective wellbeing.

Eating together triggers the release of endorphins — the same neurochemicals released during exercise, laughter, and physical touch — at a rate that eating alone doesn't replicate, suggesting the shared meal isn't just a social nicety but something closer to a biological ritual we're wired for.

Flying in lobster from Maine is about a social eating as a deliberate, shared event.

Most calories in a day just happen — you grab something, you eat in front of the TV. A shipment that someone chose, paid for, and scheduled to arrive is the opposite of incidental. That intentionality is exactly what turns "eating" into "an occasion" — which is precisely where the science comes in.

BONUS EFFECT: the anticipation itself is doing real psychological work — the days leading up to "the lobster's arriving" are part of the payoff, not just the meal itself.

Turns out, the highest-leverage thing you can do for your own happiness isn't a raise or a vacation — it's sitting down at a table with people you chose to be with. We can't build you that table. But we can give you the reason to set it.

Everyone's waiting for the "right time" to gather the people they love. Consider this it. The lobster's just the excuse — the table's the point.
