Emotional energy is in many ways our most precious resource. Emotions are the fuel for absolutely everything we say, do, and create, and emotions are directly responsible for the degree of personal and professional success that we enjoy in life.

Simply put, they control their emotions, and don’t let their emotions control them.

Imaging having a house full of empty closets. You have all this extra space, but it never gets put to use. The empty space is a lot like your memory capacity. Your brain is capable of retaining far more information than most of us will ever use - in fact only 20 percent of your brain’s memory-forming neurons are used in creating your memories.

You could store countless amounts of facts, names, numbers, places - and retrieve it at will.

The philosopher Susan Neiman argues that the absence of appealing models of maturity is not an accident: By describing life as a downhill process, we prepare young people to expect - and demand - very little from it. In Why Grow Up?, she challenges our culture of permanent adolescence, turning to thinkers including Kant, Rousseau, and Arendt to find a model of maturity that is not a matter of resignation. In growing up, we move from the boundless trust of childhood to the peculiar mixture of disappointment and exhilaration that comes with adolescence.

This is counterproductive since it does not guarantee any beneficial results in the end.

Am I happy enough? This has been a pivotal question since America's inception. "Am I not happy enough because I am depressed?" is a more recent version.

He challenges us to look at depression in a new way.
