“Contrary to what many people might think, it’s not career achievement, or exercise, or a healthy diet. Don’t get us wrong; these things matter (a lot). But one thing continuously demonstrates its broad and enduring importance: Good relationships.”
― Robert Waldinger, The Good Life: The life-changing bestseller on how to find happiness

“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

“I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies but not the madness of people.’ According to legend, Isaac Newton said this after losing a fortune investing in the South Sea Company. He’d bought shares in late 1719 and initially seen his investment rise, which persuaded him to cash in. However, the share price continued to climb and Newton – regretting his hasty sale – reinvested. When the bubble burst a few months later, he lost £20,000, equivalent to around £20 million in today’s money.[1]”
― Adam Kucharski, The Rules of Contagion: Why Things Spread - and Why They Stop
