10．It is promoted that we should all prioritize some simpler life improvements to live better lives．The explanations for how and why they better our life serve as powerful reminders that we might be prioritizing the wrong things，and undervaluing what makes life worth living．
Smoking drinking，exercise and even heart problems are not predictors of a person's longevity-a person's close relationships and social integration are．Our human connections have the positive impact on all aspects of our well-being，including our physical health．Those with intimacy（亲昵）in their lives，and those with frequent face-to-face interactions were not only physically and emotionally healthier，but they also lived longer．
It's why women，who tend to prioritize spending time with their friends more than men，live an average of six years longer．It's not enough to text or email．The actual health benefits of socializing are only achieved through in-person contact because face-to-face contact releases chemicals that protect you now and well into the future like a vaccine．
People who spend time on social networks，dating apps and even online news sites are found less happy．Most things we do for pleasure，like reading a book or watching a movie，have an end．But scrolling（卷动）on the phone is endless and we don't know when to break away．And those who do set limiting rules for their technology use are able to enjoy life more．Life becomes more colorful，richer，when you have better conversations with the person who is there with you．
The chase for happiness doesn't make us happy．In fact，constantly evaluating our own happiness is actually contributing to feelings of hopelessness and depression．Happiness is a fickle（变幻无常的）emotion，based on a moment or an experience．It's not a lack of happiness but lack of meaning that's really making us feel sad．
Meaning can be obtained in four forms：belonging，purpose，transcendence （卓越）and storytelling．The first is having people in your life who truly love and care about you．The second is having purpose．Most people find purpose through work because it's how we feel like we're adding value or contributing．So finding something to drive you forward is a crucial slice of having meaning．Transcendence is about finding something like art or church or doing yoga that can take you outside of yourself，that can make you feel like you're part of something bigger．With storytelling，that's all about our personal narratives．We're the author of our stories，and we can change how we're telling them．Your life isn't just a list of events．
