Some of the most internationally renowned companies started out with humble beginnings — in a garage. What began as a small business in a garage in Park City, Utah, in 2004 now serves 50 mountain resorts worldwide and was recently ranked as the most trustworthy company in the state of Utah.

Ski Butlers has established a reliable reputation in the skiing industry in the past 20 years, as shown by its customer reviews. Nowadays, more people prefer to shop online than in person. In the U.S., there are nearly 270 million online shoppers, or 80% of the population.

That being said, many consumers look at product reviews before spending money. In fact, “89% of consumers say they make an effort to read reviews before buying products online.

Checking reviews have become the norm and part of the shopping process and reviews matter — a lot,” according to Luisa Zhou, CEO of LuisaZhou.com, a digital advertising agency.

Stephen Cranney: Are religious people happier? The science is pretty clear

Debates about the impact of religion in the world have been going on for a long time. There is one facet of that debate, however, which, scientifically speaking, is largely settled.

From the standpoint of statistics and empirical evidence, how much do we know about whether religious or nonreligious people are happier?

A lot, it turns out. The literature on health in general and religion is vast. An Oxford University Press book summarizing the research on the subject, for example, comes in at almost 900 pages. In the analysis in this “Handbook of Religion and Health,” they reviewed 326 articles on the relationship between health and measures of “religiosity and subjective well-being, happiness, or life satisfaction,” finding that 79% of those studies reported that religious people were happier, while only 1% reported that they were less happy (the rest found no or mixed findings).

Read more about the study that shows religious people are, statistically speaking, measurably more likely to be happy.
