It turns out that the process of working toward a goal, participating in a valued and challenging activity, is as important to well-being as its attainment.

Exercise may very well be the most effective instant happiness booster of all activities.

Women’s magazines will often ask me things like, 'All right, I need six five-minute happiness strategies.' And I say, well, there aren’t any five-minute happiness strategies. This is something you have to do kind of every day for the rest of your life. Just like if you want to raise moral children or if you want to advance in your career. It’s a goal you pursue your whole life.

If you're not happy today, then you won't be happy tomorrow unless you take things into your own hands and take action.

I use the term happiness to refer to the experience of joy, contentment, or positive well-being, combined with a sense that one's life is good, meaningful, and worthwhile.

It is equally important to investigate wellness as it is to study misery.

Find a happy person, and you will find a project.
