Dr. Kaufmann discusses her 7 pillars to maximizing life as illustrated in her book.

There were multiple events during the games that had fans setting early morning alarm clocks, reading the rules of sports they never knew and cheering in public places anytime there country won something ....but what did we learn? I watched the games with a coaching eyes and saw Christine Sinclair lead a team like a true captain. I saw Simmone Biles face larger amounts of pressure than Tom Brady ever did. I say two men split a gold medal in the pursuit of equal happiness. Listen to the lessons we all learned.
