Shawn Achor: The Happiness Advantage

<p><a href="https://geni.us/HappyAdvantage">The Happiness Advantage</a> by <a href="https://www.shawnachor.com/meet-shawn/">Shawn Achor</a> shows us how to rewire our brains for positivity and optimism to reap the happiness advantage in our lives, our careers, and even our health.</p><p>How small shifts in our mind-set and habits can produce big gains at work, at home, and elsewhere. Happiness is not the belief that we don't need to change; it is the realization that we can. Our most commonly held formula for success is broken. Conventional wisdom holds that once we succeed, we'll be happy; that once we get that great job, win that next promotion, lose those five pounds, happiness will follow. But the science reveals this formula to be backward: Happiness fuels success, not the other way around.</p>Habits are like financial capital – forming one today is an investment that will automatically give out returns for years to come.<br>― Shawn Achor<p> <strong> <a href="https://www.patreon.com/Moonshots" rel="payment" title="★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★">★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★</a> </strong> </p>
