Denying stress, bottling it up, or brooding about it is counterproductive.

…but what we can do is adjust our relationship to stress. It doesn’t have to own us. We can own it.

…work provides far more than a meal ticket. It can give us a sense of identity and purpose, as well as a framework around which we organize our other activities and interests.

…incongruity between how you really feel and how you pretend to… leads to burnout and all sorts of related negative consequences at work…

Tweaking your job, also known as job crafting, involves looking creatively at your work circumstances and finding ways to reconfigure your situation to make it more engaging and fulfilling.

By being emotionally agile, we can use the wrong job to gain the perspective, skills, and connections necessary to get the right job… That’s how we ensure that we’re not just making a living, but also truly living.

Emotional agility is like a vaccine that helps innoculate kids against being overwhelmed by the moments of unpleasantness that life no doubt has in store for them.

By simply letting our children know that we see them in full, clearly and without judgment, we signal that we accept and validate their emotional experience.

Autonomy is a bedrock element of lifelong thriving and is critical to children’s moral development.

Only when kids are properly guided toward learning and trusting their own values can they discover their whys and want-to-motivations – the ones that lead to genuine thriving.
