..the more you believe in your own ability to success the more likely it is that you will.

It's hard to find happiness after success if the goalposts of success keep changing.

Happiness is a social creature. If you try to pursue it in a vacuum, it's very difficult to sustain it. But as soon as you get people focused on creating meaningful connections in the midst of their work, or increasing the meaning and depth of their relationships outside of work, we find happiness rising in step with that social connection.

Constantly scanning the world for the negative comes with a great cost. It undercuts our creativity, raises our stress levels, and lowers our motivation and ability to accomplish goals.

Scientifically, happiness is a choice. It is a choice about where your single processor brain will devote its finite resources as you process the world.

When we encounter an unexpected challenge of threat the only way to save ourselves is to hold on tight to the people around us and not let go.

You have to train your brain to be positive just like you work out your body.
