  4. 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.
  5. Savoring everyday moments
    Deliberately stretch and attend to ordinary good experiences instead of rushing past them.
