‘Busy bragging’ is a toxic trait at work; hire a real estate agent that loves your neighborhood like you do; and new consumer research with a surprising twist

Some people wear their stress at work like a badge of honor. Their coworkers are not impressed. Research shows that employees who brag about the stress they’re under are seen as less likable and less competent. 

It pays to know the people in your neighborhood. Recent research finds that real estate agents who specialize in just one or two neighborhoods acquire knowledge that can help sellers sell their homes more quickly and for a higher price. 

New consumer research found that people actually enjoy their favorite treats longer when they sample the same flavors again and again, instead of getting tired of it. The repetition gives consumers the chance to notice and appreciate the details of the experience.
