7. The Mindset of Enough: Contentment Without Complacency
   The "mindset of enough" is the capacity to experience genuine satisfaction with what is present without that satisfaction shutting down ambition — a distinction between sufficiency and settling. Research on hedonic adaptation, satisficing, and relative comparison suggests that the common success formula (more → better) reliably produces diminishing returns in well-being, and that contentment practices can interrupt that cycle without requiring you to abandon your goals.
8. Define your own "enough" proactively
   Name in advance what the sufficient version of a goal looks like, before ambition moves the target.
