Pay close attention to any flame of enthusiasm.

I have a lucky perfume. I love beautiful smells, but I save one of my favorite perfumes to wear only when I feel like I need some extra luck.

I spend a lot of time saying to myself, "Well, is that really what I like to do? Is that really something that makes me happy?" and letting go of the things that don't make me happy.

Habits are the invisible architecture of everyday life.

The absence of feeling bad isn't enough to make you happy; you must strive to find sources of feeling good

I used to be very disciplined about only buying three books ahead of what I was reading, but my husband corrupted me, and now I'm dozens ahead of myself!

We are happy when we are growing.
