“We didn't actually overspend our budget. The allocation simply fell short of our expenditure.”
“If you're short on time, that would be the two-word version of our story: we fell.”
“Our lives are nothing but a short span of time. And if we spend tons of time earning money that we simply throw away, then we're throwing away part of our potential.”
“...when our minds are unconsciously in the future, the present disappears; it is simply not available to us. We substitute heading toward our lives for actually living.”
“The meaning of our lives is to justify where our bosses spent their budget.”
“Our beliefs about how much personal control people have over their lives, which are shaped in part by the level of individualism to which we have been exposed, also play an important role in our preferences for allocating choice.”
