Impact is rewarding. Mattering makes us happy.

People are drastically overconfident about their judgments of others.

We are happy when we have family, we are happy when we have friends and almost all the other things we think make us happy are actually just ways of getting more family and friends.

The brain and the eye may have a contractual relationship in which the brain has agreed to believe what the eye sees, but in return the eye has agreed to look for what the brain wants.

People are happiest when they're trying to achieve goals that are difficult but not out of reach.

People want to be happy, and all the other things they want are typically meant to be a means to that end.

The good news is that going blind is not going to make you as unhappy as you think it will. The bad news is that winning the lottery will not make you as happy as you expect.

Our brain accepts what the eyes see and our eye looks for whatever our brain wants.

The secret of happiness is variety, but the secret of variety, like the secret of all spices, is knowing when to use it.

We treat our future selves as though they were our children, spending most of the hours of most of our days constructing tomorrows that we hope will make them happy

Happiness refers to feelings, virtue refers to actions, and those actions can cause those feelings. But not necessarily and not exclusively.

Shift your focus from your fears to your dreams. Let the love, passion and utter awesomeness of your dreams guide you through life.

You've lived in America for twenty years. Eat badly, damn it.

How the past perishes is how the future becomes.

This may just be me, but I feel like everyone's dream is to live as an American high school student. There are so many teen films set in America that you live vicariously through them, anyway.

The Lesson is, we all need to expose ourselves to the winds of change

Mitt Romney understands free enterprise, he has worked in it. He has seen companies succeed and he has seen them fail, too. He knows what people think about when they invest their money.

In a world of fugitives, the person taking the opposite direction will appear to run away.

We have the Terminator as governor, and we had an actor as president, so why shouldn't we have a fashion designer as a senator?

I feel fine. How about you?
