    • Is Marriage for White People?

      By Anderson Team | Anderson Cooper – Fri, Nov 4, 2011 12:11 AM EDT

      In the new book, "Is Marriage for White People?: How the African-American Marriage Decline Affects Everyone," Ralph Richard Banks examines the issue that finds fewer African-American women are marrying, and are not dating outside their race.

      "It's a huge issue, says Banks. "African-American women are the most unmarried group of women in the country. About 70% of black women are unmarried, and their racial gap in marriage extends across the socioeconomic spectrum. So it's not only poor women, it's college educated black women who are about twice as likely to be unmarried than their white counterparts."

      Journalist and TV personality Jacque Reid admits to not dating outside her race. On Thursday's episode of "Anderson," Reid says, "I end up dating African-American men because there is a comfort level. We have a lot in common, for example. Do you know what it's like to be ashy?"

      "As perhaps the palest man in American," says Anderson. He has no idea, and then asks, "But is

      "I'm so honored that you're here," says Anderson. "I'm such a fan of yours. You were on the air for 29 years doing your show. I've been on for like a month. How do you do that? The amount of energy that is required is really extraordinary!"

      "Well, it is," says Phil, "but you're young, and you will be fine. I hope you'll be running around. Getting everybody in."

      Take a look at Phil's in-studio surprise...

      By Anderson Team | Anderson Cooper – Tue, Oct 25, 2011 8:19 PM EDT

      Sixteen-year-old stutterer Phillip Garber joins Anderson to detail his experience at a local community college, where he was told by his professor to keep quiet during class -- to avoid disturbing the other students.

      In this clip from Tuesday's "Anderson," Phillip is joined by his friends, a group called "Our Time," which is dedicated to helping kids who stutter.

      Julianna, the 13-year-old lead singer of the group, stutters when speaking, but as seen in this video, when she sings, her words flow. Watch Our Time make their national television debut, performing "Magical Place" in studio...

      By Anderson Team | Anderson Cooper – Tue, Oct 25, 2011 7:08 PM EDT

      Do you ever feel bullied by email? Are you fed up with everyone declaring their email a priority? Are you losing precious time in your day just trying to keep up with your inbox?

She declares email bankruptcy by deleting all email after a certain date and then emailing friends and family to let them know, if she hasn't responded by now, she's not going to.

      Hear the rest of her advice below.


      Lauren also suggests separating email. Do you separate your email between work, friends, coupons, etc.?

    • Are You Over-Scheduling Your Day?

      By Anderson Team | Work + Money – Tue, Oct 25, 2011 7:07 PM EDT

      Do you plan each day minute-to-minute? Is this causing stress and anxiety all day long?

      Professional Lifestyle Expert Lauren Lake says it's important to reshape your day.

      "You've got to schedule in time for things to go wrong," says Lake, "because it doesn't always go the way we plan." Lake says that sometimes the best way to get away from a strict schedule is by planning a "screen-free" day.
