Becky   Kennedy
“underneath perfectionism is always an emotion regulation struggle. Underneath “I am the worst artist in the world!” is a child who could envision the picture they wanted to paint and is disappointed in their final product; underneath “I stink at math” is a child who wants to feel capable and instead feels confused; underneath “I let down my team” is a child who can’t access all the moments they played well and is mired in their missed layup. In each case, that disappointment—or the mismatch between what a child wanted to happen and what actually happened—manifests as perfectionism. And, because perfectionism is a sign of an emotion regulation struggle, logic won’t help—we can’t convince a child that her art is great or that math concepts are hard for everyone or that one missed shot doesn’t define an athlete.”

“Good relationships keep us happier, healthier, and help us live longer.”
Robert Waldinger, The Good Life: Lessons from the World's Longest Scientific Study of Happiness

Robert Waldinger
“Spoiler alert: The good life is a complicated life. For everybody. The good life is joyful… and challenging. Full of love, but also pain. And it never strictly happens; instead, the good life unfolds, through time. It is a process. It includes turmoil, calm, lightness, burdens, struggles, achievements, setbacks, leaps forward, and terrible falls. And of course, the good life always ends in death.”
Robert Waldinger, The Good Life: Lessons from the World's Longest Scientific Study of Happiness

Robert Waldinger
“The good life is not always just out of reach after all. It is not waiting in the distant future after a dreamy career success. It’s not set to kick in after you acquire some massive amount of money. The good life is right in front of you, sometimes only an arm’s length away. And it starts now.”
Robert Waldinger, The Good Life: The life-changing bestseller on how to find happiness

Becky   Kennedy
“Finding the good inside can often come from asking ourselves one simple question: “What is my most generous interpretation of what just happened?”
Becky Kennedy, Good Inside: A Guide to Becoming the Parent You Want to Be
