Following celebrities or people you don't regularly see in person often doesn't add to our happiness. The best use of social media is to deepen existing close relationships or create new ones.

If you want a particular behavior from someone else, try spotlighting those times when he or she is already doing it.

There is a compelling case showing us that we actually change people all the time. And when we fully realize this, we start to see how powerful we are to get others unstuck, see that their behavior matters, and start taking steps to create happiness and success in their lives.

With technology and over-scheduling, we are forgetting to invest time in simple connective moments with others.

Surfing the web often comes at the cost of face-to-face time with friends and family.

We are all constantly transmitting information to the people around us, and the messages we choose to communicate either create success or hold us all hold back.

When someone comes to you to talk about a problem, if you move the conversation on to a discussion of potential solutions, you fuel their creative problem solving abilities on average by 20% - not to mention you make them feel better! You make them smarter and more empowered to tackle challenges.
