How Adam Smith Can Change Your Life

Key takeaways

Happiness comes from being loved and being lovely. Being loved comes from being rich or famous, or wise and virtuous (preferred). Being lovely comes from acting with propriety (behaving in a manner consistent with others’ expectations), prudence (taking care of yourself), justice (doing no harm), and beneficence (being good to others). Individually our actions may be negligible, but in sum, they are everything.
