One of the great mind destroyers of college education is the belief that if it's very complex, it's very profound.

Choosing to be grateful earns you happiness

To say murder is wrong is as much a statement of faith as 'I believe that God said murder is wrong' is a statement of faith

Of all the characteristics needed for both a happy and morally decent life, none surpasses gratitude. Grateful people are happier, and grateful people are more morally decent.

In attempting to understand 9/11, the first question asked by the world's elites - as exemplified by leading media and academics - was, 'What did America do to provoke such hatred?' Ten years later, the same people are still asking the same question. And it is as morally repulsive now as it was then. It was always on par with 'What did the Jews do to antagonize the Germans? Or 'What did blacks do to enrage lynch mobs?'

I am convinced that great ideas that are powerfully presented can change a mind in five minutes.

We have a moral obligation to act happy even if we don't feel it
