32、ifes meaning.So many of my patients tell me that their lives used to have meaning, but that somewhere along the line things went stale (厌倦的).

33、neer in investment banking. “I mistakenly believed that all the money I made would mean something.” she says. “But I feel lost, like a 22-year-old wondering what to do with her life.” Ivys solution?

34、 process, Ivy filled her life with meaning.3. Put yourself in the fun zone.Most of us grown-ups are seriously fun-deprived（缺乏的）.

39、k.6. Give to get.Emotional energy has a kind of magical quality: the more you give, the more you get back. This is the difference between emotional and physical energy with the latter.
