"'We are all dying, some sooner, some later. The real exception is to truly live.' - Lee Lipsenthal, Enjoy Every Sandwich" "...the Chinese symbol for busy is composed of two characters: heart and killing. In other words, busyness is devastating to our soul." for a computerize gratitude journal, the app Happier. "We humans are hardwired to remain with the herd even when we know, on some level, that the herd is leading us in the wrong direction. Say a researcher shows us two lines on a piece of paper, and one line is clearly shorter than the other. Then she asks us which line is longer. Alone, we will, of course, point to the obviously longer line: It's not a difficult question or a visual trick. But, if we are in a group of people who have already indicated to us that the shorter line is longer, three-quarters of us will not only say that the shorter line is longer but actually believe that the wrong answer is right." kind of how fox news and obviously fake news stories worked in this election cycle. i also like the loving-kindness meditation that she suggests and walks us through, and will be trying to use, especially as i have a lot of opposite emotions about a lot of people right now, that's definitely interfering with my mood, level of engagement in the world and my life, and my happiness.

HTML:Learn how to achieve more by doing less! Live in that zone you’ve glimpsed but can’t seem to hold on to—the sweet spot where you have the greatest strength, but also the greatest ease. Not long ago, Christine Carter, a happiness expert at UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center and a speaker, writer, and mother, found herself exasperated by the busyness of modern life: too many conflicting obligations and not enough time, energy, or patience to get everything done. She tried all the standard techniques—prioritizing, multitasking, delegating, even napping—but none really worked. Determined to create a less stressful life for herself—without giving up her hard-won career success or happiness at home—she road-tested every research-based tactic that promised to bring more ease into her life. Drawing on her vast knowledge of the latest research related to happiness, productivity, and elite performance, she followed every strategy that promised to give her more energy—or that could make her more efficient, creative, or intelligent. Her trials and errors are our reward. In The Sweet Spot, Carter shares the combination of practices that transformed her life from overwhelmed and exhausting to joyful, relaxed, and productive. From instituting daily micro-habits that save time to bigger picture shifts that convert stress into productive and creative energy, The Sweet Spot shows us how to • say “no” strategically and when to say “yes” with abandon • make decisions about routine things once to free our minds to focus on higher priorities • stop multitasking and gain efficiency • “take recess” in sync with the brain’s need for rest • use technology in ways that bolster, instead of sap, energy • increase your ratio of positive to negative emotions Complete with practical “easiest thing” tips for instant relief as well as stories from Carter’s own experience of putting The Sweet Spot into action, this timely and inspiring book will inoculate you against “The Overwhelm,” letting you in on the possibilities for joy and freedom that come when you stop trying to do everything right—and start doing the right things. ONE OF GREATER GOOD’S FAVORITE BOOKS OF THE YEAR “[For fans] of a certain kind of self-improvement book—the kind, like The Happiness Project or 168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think or Getting Things Done, that offers up strategies for making certain areas of life work better without requiring that you embrace a new belief system.”—KJ Dell’Antonia, The New York Times (Motherlode blog) “A breath of fresh air . . . Based on personal experiments with living life in what she calls the ‘pressure cooker,’ Dr. Carter offers advice in easily digestible nuggets.”—Working Mother “Carter gives actionable ways to balance your life, your health, and your career. This book is packed with smart advice and hard-earned wisdom.”—Inc. “Learn more about escaping the ‘busyness trap’ and uncovering a happier, less stressed you.”—Shape “A highly readable, diligently researched advice book that offers concrete tips on how to get off the treadmill of busyness.”—Greater Good “Chock-full of concrete tips on how to sharpen your focus, improve your efficiency,...

I started chafing at the section about cultivating relationships. The author tries to connect this and other sections that are essentially about happiness to the theme of productivity by arguing that happier people are more efficient people, but it seemed like a stretch for this book as it is titled. The section on relationships gives you LOTS more to do: loving-kindness meditations, giving away money, and if you have no money to give, no problem – you can just raise some money to give. Do five-minute favors AND fifteen-minute favors. Write a gratitude letter. I was totally exhausted just reading about it. But that’s probably why I’m not very good at relationships. (
