Every hour you spend on your rear end ... saps your energy and ruins your health.

Spending on oneself does not boost wellbeing. However, spending money on others does -- and it appears to be as important to people's happiness as the total amount of money they make.

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.

If you want to improve your life and the lives of those around you, you must take action.

Don’t worry about breaks every 20 minutes ruining your focus on a task. Contrary to what I might have guessed, taking regular breaks from mental tasks actually improves your creativity and productivity. Skipping breaks, on the other hand, leads to stress and fatigue.

One's single greatest strength may be uncovering the hidden talents of another person.

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