How to Stop Self-Obsessing and Be Happier

Some introspection is healthy and necessary, but too much can trap you in a cycle of misery.

“Happiness isn't found in some finite checklist of goals that we can diligently complete and then coast. It's how we live our lives in the process. That's why the four pillars of happiness are faith, family, community, and meaningful work. Those are priorities we have to keep investing in.”
