Know that positive change is possible. It might not happen right away, but if you change your broadcast to them, that can have an effect on how they view the world.

There is no greater prediction in the research of our levels of happiness than the breadth and depth of our relationships.

Instead of running from the negative, I've started running towards the positive.

Even five minute meaningful conversations with other people not only fuel us in the moment but also build up a reserve of social capital so that when hard times strike, we can draw down on that bank account.

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.

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.
