-Money is an opportunity for happiness, but it is an opportunity that people routinely squander because the things they think will make them happy often don’t.
-Before we set our hearts too much upon anything, let us first examine how happy those are who already possess it.
-In thinking about how to spend our money, it is worthwhile to consider how purchases will affect the ways in which we spend our time.
-Almost anything we do to improve our connections with others tends to improve our happiness as well and that includes spending money.
When people take scientific findings, charts, or models as total, eternal truth, they’re treating the map as the territory. Real life is always more textured and ambiguous. Good science constantly updates the map to better reflect the terrain. Bad science—or rigid thinking—tries to force the terrain to fit the map.
When media or even scientists collapse scientific findings into absolutes—“X causes Y,” “Study proves Z.” That’s when public trust erodes. If people expect certainty from science, they’ll see contradiction where there is actually evolution.
