A batch of the best highlights from what Armand's read, .
We have to look deeply to identify the original, primal fear and desire that are behind so many of our behaviors. Every one of the fears and desires that you have today is a continuation of original fear and desire.
And each element of well-being must itself have three properties to count as an element: 1. It contributes to well-being. 2. Many people pursue it for its own sake, not merely to get any of the other elements. 3. It is defined and measured independently of the other elements (exclusivity). Well-being theory has five elements, and each of the five has these three properties. The five elements are positive emotion, engagement, meaning, positive relationships, and accomplishment. A handy mnemonic is PERMA.
Flourish
Martin E. P. Seligman
The Master gives himself up to whatever the moment brings. He knows that he is going to die, and he has nothing left to hold on to: no illusions in his mind, no resistances in his body. He doesn’t think about his actions; they flow from the core of his being. He holds nothing back from life; therefore he is ready for death, as a man is ready for sleep after a good day’s work.
