           This book sounds to me like agregation of few books out there. Namely found there paragraph about types of love, elephant and rider, om reciprocity, &c

Book suggest to mindfully act in your life, evaluate and reevaluate your position regularly so you can always know where you stand.

≥Your interpretation of things determines the kind of life you'll live.

≥Once you can control your interpretations, you can control your life. Change is useful and essential, but it's tough to achieve and difficult to maintain.

≥Your inner Elephant will definitely overreact to certain things like a change, of course, a new companion, a new environment, etc. It also overreacts to insignificant things, thereby allowing emotions to cloud judgments.

≥Reciprocity creates an act of expectation that allows kindness to grow.

≥When you don’t treat others with respect, it can lead to a conflict of interest, gossip, and hatred.

≥Humans believe that when you don't reciprocate, you're an ingrate that doesn't deserve help again. Humans tend to see the faults of others more than they see their own.

≥Admitting your faults can be very difficult because the Elephant is programmed to deny accusations. Once the Elephant denies the accusation, the rider also follows suit and tries to vindicate you instead of examining the accusation.

≥When you examine your true position on a matter, you'll realize that when you apologize for being wrong, there's a high chance the other party will reciprocate. Reciprocity then occurs because there's a mutual exchange of true admittance to faults.

≥Adaptation means that you are willing to blend with a new philosophy and associate with it without conflict of interest or expression.

≥The act of love is a very fundamental, important and needed feeling in the lives of humans.

≥Adversity can be used to your advantage because it propels you to reflect on yourself

≥even though research shows that most people somehow benefit from hardships as time goes on.

≥Going through troubled times can also strengthen friendships and relationships because these are the moments where help is required and given.

≥Your happiness is heavily influenced by the agreement between the Elephant and the rider. As long as there are conflicts between the Elephant and the rider, you're bound to be very unhappy.

≥Adversity and reproach allow you the chance to reflect on a mistake, re–evaluate your position, and make necessary adjustments. For example, when you lose a family member, the emotional reaction can lead you to question life and reality. This pushes you to be more conscious of your life and brings you closer to your personal life.

≥adversities can provide the perfect leverage for them to reflect and make corrections where needed.

≥Virtue is made up of several traits like morality, altruism, nobleness, and some other respected character traits. In the days of ancient Rome, these character traits were seen as the correct way of life. High morality and nobility were traits attached to men of honor and courage, especially men of noble birth.

≥Practicing altruism and believing in the essence of helping others gives meaning to your life, and connects you to other people so that you can live together.

≥Another method of practicing morality is to establish a society where a set of values and doctrines would be practiced. This would have a strong positive effect on all involved so they can reconcile their rider and Elephant. Moving to a community where values and rules are followed would boost your morality because you have to adapt, and in the course of adapting, you level up in your morality. Morality increases happiness as long as it's not forced on you.

≥When you are with a group of people who you share the same beliefs with, you'll most likely experience awe.

≥When you surround yourself with people who make you feel appreciated in many ways, it becomes easier for you to find happiness.

≥What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow: our life is the creation of our mind.

≥To create lasting happiness, you must find a way to align your passion for what you do. Make sure you love and enjoy what you do; otherwise, you'll hate your life and end up not pursuing your passion.
