Key Takeaways:

• Happiness is fluid and not a permanent state – It’s important to recognize that happiness levels fluctuate, and the goal is to consistently maintain above-average happiness.

• Engaging fully in life is being intentional in living your life. It is about how you spend your time, identifying things that make you happy and doing them more often.

• You are responsible for who has access to you. If your current social environment is toxic, it's essential to reevaluate and choose people who uplift you.
