Happiness

Principles

• Passion + Growth + Contribution = Personal Satisfaction

• Main source is through our valued social relationships

• The feeling of Contribution

• Remember the 80/20 Rule

  • 20% of causes create 80% of effects
  • Ask yourself:
    1. What are the 20% of things that cause 80% of my unhappiness?
    2. What are the 20% of things that cause 80% of my happiness?

• Shaped by our Environmental Influence

• notes/Long Term Thinking

Practices

1. ** Avoid Negative and Irrelevant Information**

   • News, social media

2. Environment

3. Remove the Need for Perfection and Validation

   • Ask yourself:
     1. If I could never tell a single person about my achievements, would I still pursue them?
     2. If my journey of self-improvement doesn’t make me a “better” person, would I still do it?

4. Don’t attach happiness to your achievements, goals, possessions, etc.

   • Refer to the Hedonic Treadmill
