I researched human happiness for three years while working on my first book. One thing I learned was that happiness was really about attention. The happiest people didn't have perfect lives. But the imperfections were never their focus. They found joy in ordinary days. Gratitude in small moments. Meaning in simple things. Happiness is about attention, not perfection.
Getting into one Knicks Finals game now costs almost as much as going to every remaining home game for the Yankees, Mets, Giants, and Jets combined.

For our Summer Print issue, we caught up with @DonToliver as he enters a new chapter powered by fatherhood, tour prep, fast cars, rally racing, and a No. 1 album.
His latest project, Octane, debuted at the top and racked up 138 million streams in its first week, with seven songs landing in the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100.
But the bigger story is where the Houston artist sees himself right now. After five albums, a run with Cactus Jack, and a sound built more on mood than traditional rap rules, Toliver says he is in his prime and “1,000%” belongs in the hottest-rapper conversation. The catch? He is not interested in naming who he is racing against.
That might be the point. Don has spent years building a lane that does not run on anyone else’s terms. Call it vibe. Call it mood. Call it Octane. Whatever it is, he is moving fast, and he isn’t slowing down.
Full story drops 6.3
From redefining greatness on the court to building impact far beyond it, LeBron James has changed the game at every level.
Now, he’s bringing that perspective to Game Plan, where he joins an already stacked lineup of speakers including Lindsey Vonn, Adam Silver, Michael Rubin, and Jimmy Pitaro.
Join @CNBC Sport and Boardroom on Thursday, July 16 for #GamePlan26 at Fanatics Fest in New York City for an incredible afternoon shaping the future of sports and entertainment.
