1. Wide reading outside one’s special area,

2. Cultivation of associates and friends outside one’s special area,

3. Varied recreational and cultural participation,

4. Travel,

5. A cultivation of broad interests,

6. A persistent relationship with the world of nature,

7. Activity that lifts one out of self and narrow self-concern, e.g. service or worship.
