"Happiness is really all about the business of life. Your life is like a startup business, and you should manage it as such. You're the founder, and you need to be able to take risks and know what the currency is of the fortune you're trying to accumulate. The Happiness Files shows how to become more successful in getting what you truly want by seeing your life in this way."
"In the startup of your life, you're the most important employee-so you better manage yourself. Self-management is a skill that successful people have. More importantly, it's a skill that happy people have. Some people are very successful in managing their professional lives, but managing their personal lives is a different kettle of fish. In the first section of my book, you will learn why these things are different and why some people find self-management more difficult than professional management."
Life functions like a startup where the individual is the founder responsible for managing resources, risks, and objectives. Self-management is a crucial skill for both professional success and personal happiness, yet personal life often requires different approaches than work. Applying neuroscience and behavioral science principles can align family, friendships, faith, and romantic relationships with career-style goal-setting. Attention to burnout, boredom, and feelings of underappreciation at work helps prioritize consequential activities. Defining the currency of the fortune one seeks clarifies choices and risks. Treating life’s domains as manageable systems enables clearer decisions and greater fulfillment.
