Three Buckets For Complaints
- Complaints fall into three buckets: problems you want, problems you can't change, and problems you should remove.
- Classify complaints before reacting so you either celebrate, accept, or fix them.
Accept What You Cannot Change
- Accept things you cannot change like aging, taxes, and the weather and stop wasting energy on them.
- Move on quickly and focus effort where it can produce results.

- Be willing to undertake big upheaval to remove root problems that cause depression or crises.
