10. Savoring: Getting More From the Good
    Savoring is the deliberate act of noticing, prolonging, and intensifying a positive experience instead of letting it slip past. Positive-psychology research links a stronger savoring capacity to greater well-being and slower hedonic adaptation; the effect is real, though it depends on attention to the present rather than capturing or analyzing the moment.
