Relationships Over Everything
- Strong relationships are the biggest predictor of health and happiness, outweighing factors like cholesterol or blood pressure.
- The Harvard Study of Adult Development, spanning over 85 years, supports this.
Defining Enough
- Define your "enough" and visualize your ideal life to avoid constantly moving the goalposts.
- Make conscious, rational decisions about increasing your goals instead of subconscious, irrational ones.

- Before buying something, ask yourself if you would still buy it if you couldn't tell anyone.
- This "bought status test" helps differentiate between genuine desire and the need to impress others.
