Most people perceive their occupation as being a detriment to their overall wellbeing.

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.

When we get at least six hours of daily social time, it increases our wellbeing and minimizes stress and worry. The six hours includes time at work, at home, on the telephone, talking to friends, sending e-mail, and other communication.

If we can find short-term incentives that are consistent with our long-term objectives, it is much easier to make the right decisions in the moment.

The quickest way to be a little bit happier and more engaged in your job is to spend some time thinking about developing closer friendships.

Making better choices takes work. There is a daily give and take, but it is worth the effort.

Even if people just change two or three things that they are able to sustain over time, it makes quite a difference eventually.
