When we take time to notice the things that go right - it means we're getting a lot of little rewards throughout the day.

The word 'happiness' always bothered me, partly because it was scientifically unwieldy and meant a lot of different things to different people, and also because it's subjective.

Notice the small things. The rewards are inversely proportional.

One of my signature strengths is the love of learning, and by teaching, I have built it into the fabric of my life. I try to do some of it every day.

The dirty little secret of both clinical psychology and biological psychiatry is that they have completely given up on the notion of cure.

The good life consists in deriving happiness by using your signature strengths every day in the main realms of living. The meaningful life adds one more component: using these same strengths to forward knowledge, power or goodness.
