The Happiness Advantage

In The Happiness Advantage, author Shawn Achor, believes people can reprogram their brains to become more positive which will result in increased professional success. The book is based on his experience as Head Teaching Fellow at Harvard for "Positive Psychology" and one of the largest studies of happiness and potential even done to identify an improve the formula for happiness. He believes that you can increase your productivity by 30 percent by increasing your level of happiness and that happiness is the precursor to success not the result of it. He sees happiness as a work ethic, a notion I totally support. Watch a short video on The Happiness Advantage to learn more about his work.
