Key Takeaways
Recognize that media rankings and 'best city' lists are often intentionally illogical to provoke outrage, which drives clicks and SEO backlinks.
Understand that while money increases happiness levels up to at least $500,000, its impact is still smaller than the emotional boost provided by a weekend.
Avoid public confrontations with employees or subordinates, as power imbalances and the potential for sharing private information can lead to severe legal and reputational fallout.
