People have several times more potential for growth when they invest energy in developing their strengths instead of correcting their deficiencies.

What works for one persons needs is almost always very different from the next.

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

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.

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.

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.

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