8. The Spotlight Effect: Why You Think Everyone Is Watching
   The spotlight effect is the well-documented tendency to overestimate how much other people notice our appearance, mistakes, and actions — because we are the center of our own attention, we assume we are the center of theirs. Reducing this bias requires deliberately updating the estimate of how distracted, self-occupied, and inattentive others actually are.
9. Spot and name character strengths in others
   Notice and explicitly name the character strengths you observe in people around you.
