The Art Of Living

At SXSW interactive I heard Kit Cooper speak about his book, The Art Of Living: Quality of Life Best Practices Revealed. He interviewed a bunch of successful people from all walks of life and found the following commonalities.

  • gratitude
  • risk taking
  • exercise
  • assume positive intent
  • humility
  • write things down
  • self-awareness
  • not imposing
  • emotional intelligence
  • awareness of your mind
