Working with Brain's Primitives and Ambassadors

“Identifying your primitives in action helps to hold them in check. Now that you know who your primitives are and how they operate, see if you can catch them in the act.

Experiences or Toys

"A study conducted by Ryan Howell, an assistant professor of psychology at San Francisco State University, and presented at the 2009 annual meeting of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology, showed that people are made happier by experiences than by things. So, I suppose, if you are going to spend like you are rich, at least do it on social interactions that will actually make you happy, such as taking vacations or going to the theater. As an added bonus, Ryan's study indicated that cost is not important; just have a life experience--one that has the added benefit of enhancing the lives of loved ones and friends around you. "One of the things that set wealthy apart from others is that they have a wise variety of interests and activities. In fact, there is a substantial correlation between the number of interests and activities that people are involved in and their level of financial wealth. Some wealthy people feel that owning a vacation...
