From the Guardian Unlimited:

Imagine there was a new policy, sitting on a shelf somewhere, that could, at surprisingly low cost, and in just a matter of months, transform millions of people's lives. Moreover, imagine that it was scientifically proven, and that it would make people more employable and better parents, thereby increasing productivity, cutting the benefits bill and reducing antisocial behaviour. Oh, and that it would achieve all this simply by making people measurably more stable, hopeful and happy.
