“We're living at a time when attention is the new currency We're all publishers now, and the more we publish, the more valuable connections we'll make.

“In life, everybody faces choices between doing what's popular, easy, and wrong vs. doing what's lonely, difficult, and right.

“The saying goes that history repeats itself; personal histories do the same. We can gather the lessons of others' lives through observation, conversation, and by seeking advice. We can use the automatic system to find out who the happy people are, and the reflective system to evaluate how they got to be that way. Pursuing happiness need not be a lonely endeavor. In fact, throwing in our lot with others may be a very good way of coping with the disappointments of choice.” PeopleWayNeedsMayFactsUseChoicesAdviceLessonsConversationLonelyVery GoodDisappointmentSeekingObservationRepeatsEndeavorThrowingEvaluateCopingGood WayHappy PeoplePersonal HistoryRepeating HistoryHistory Repeats ItselfPursuing Happiness Author:Sheena Iyengar
