You can also learn to attract more fun simply by making a point to pay attention to other people when you’re with them. It doesn’t matter whether they’re a family member, a friend, or a stranger: when you encounter another living, breathing human being, put your phone away and look up. Make eye contact. Smile. Let them know that in that particular moment, they have your full and undivided attention. In our distracted society, this is a powerful and generous gift. Notice how people react when they receive it.
