Designing and building a rich, full and meaningful life can only start from where you are now.

Engage fully in life by being present in the moment.

Let your thoughts come and go while keeping your attention on what you’re doing.

You want the better feeling it produces, not the habit itself.

How your mind works against constant happiness—and how to deal with it.

The narrative fallacy is our tendency to create incorrect cause-and-effect stories out of one or more events.

The planning fallacy is our tendency to underestimate the time, costs, and risks of future tasks, while overestimating their benefits.

The affect heuristic is our tendency to make judgements and decisions based on our current emotions.

The availability heuristic is our tendency to assume that things that come to mind easily are more common than they really are.

The focusing illusion is a cognitive bias that leads us to overestimate the importance of something because we focus our attention on it.

How to get from what you think you want to what you really want.

Survivorship bias is our tendency to focus on the successful outcomes (survivors, winners) of a particular situation, while overlooking the unsuccessful outcomes (failures, losers).

We give more attention and weight to negative stimuli than to positive ones.

Making something of your life is about creating a meaningful life by being fully present in the here and now, accepting all your inner experiences, and taking actions that are consistent with your personal values.
