From the cradle to the cubicle, we devote more time to our shortcomings than to our strengths.

Buying experience such as going out to dinner or taking a vacation increases our own wellbeing and the wellbeing of others. Experiences last while material purchases fade.

The absence of high-quality friendships is bad for your health, spirits, productivity, and longevity.

When you ask people what affects their wellbeing most, they think of health and wealth.

When we can see an immediate payoff, we are more likely to change our behavior in the moment. This aligns our daily actions with our long-term interests.

Exercise is not enough. Working out three times a week is not enough. Being active throughout the day is what keeps you healthy.

If you want people to understand that you value their contributions and that they are important, the recognition and praise you provide must have meaning that is specific to each individual.
