Happiness is not something to be achieved but is our default state, as seen in young children who are naturally present, in the moment, and engaged.

Happiness is a skill that can be cultivated by focusing on its three core ingredients: alignment, contentment, and control.

You don't achieve happiness by directly pursuing it, but rather as a side effect of working on alignment, contentment, and control.

In a scientific study, happier people were found to be three times less likely to get sick after being intentionally exposed to the common cold virus.

To find what truly brings you contentment, ask yourself what activity you would still do if no one was watching and you couldn't post about it online.

A morning routine, even for just five minutes, is one of the most powerful things you can do to create a sense of internal control in an uncontrollable world.

A common mistake is equating success with happiness, but for many, they are two different things, and chasing external success can lead to unhappiness.

An exercise to find alignment is to imagine your deathbed, define three things you wish you'd done, and then create weekly habits to guarantee that outcome.
