Following celebrities or people you don't regularly see in person often doesn't add to our happiness. The best use of social media is to deepen existing close relationships or create new ones.

People are pulled towards the best in themselves, and spotlighting the right is a much stronger approach than nagging.

I think there is little harm in venting here and there about things, as we are all human, and it is good to express emotions.

People will often say "You can't change other people." My research shows this societal belief is not only dis-empowering, it is scientifically false.

Too quickly, venting can turn into dumping garbage on the people around us.

We are all constantly transmitting information to the people around us, and the messages we choose to communicate either create success or hold us all hold back.

There is no greater prediction in the research of our levels of happiness than the breadth and depth of our relationships.

We change people, but oftentimes we get so focused on the negative people and their influence on us, we forget how powerful we are as positive people to influence others.

Change your story, change your power.

Being in touch with the problems in the world or our lives is important, but even more important is to focus the brain on what we can do about them.

Social comparison that leads to unhappiness is the downside of social media.

Let us help each other

If there are dominant teams, people enjoy discussing whether that's good or bad for the game, and if there aren't any dominant teams, then people enjoy discussing that.

I didn't really go the starving-artist route. I kind of went and did massive, commercial things.

Sluggish idleness--the nurse of sin.

There is freedom of speech, but I cannot guarantee freedom after speech

Yes, we too are stardust.

I release all criticism. I only give out that which I wish to receive in return. My love and acceptance of others is mirrored to me in every moment.

I operate my life like a startup. I learn a little bit and I test something else out and I keep iterating and iterating until it's perfect.

I am confident there is a cause for everyone. Think of how you can contribute; we all have different skills.

I don't cause riots, but I do cause confusion. People freeze when they spot me.
