Solve for Happy: Engineer Your Path to Joy

Set out every morning with your brain primed to be open to something new.

There’s no scientific way to prove that something does not exist!

being is the only state in which you’re fully aware.

But our bias to negativity isn’t limited to the sheer number of thoughts. We also tend to give greater weight to negative thoughts when we make decisions.

If events remain as they are, but changing the way we think about them changes our experience of them, could we become happy simply by changing our thoughts?

Be aware of the journey. This is where all of life happens.

Whenever you feel your mind racing or the day rushing by, just stop. Tell yourself that you’re not going back to the hubbub of life until you observe ten things around you, one for each one of your fingers.
