4 minutes read.<p>Anne-Laure Le Cunff with a great suggestion I found myself optimized for in the past few years: be happy. I do things that feel like playing to me (may look like hard work for others), be around people I love and get energized from and assist others in areas of expertise (teach what I learn, as I learn it). I try to follow my emotions and instincts for how happiness looks to me rather than my ego. If something feels right, I accept it. I try to quiet down the voice of "is it good enough though?" because my immediate answer (of the ego) is always No. I let myself play in multiple games: work, family, side projects, hobbies, etc. So far, what worked for me is to optimize for happiness and high energy levels, so these games have to work well together as I get older. This is for me life worth living.
