Description
The Happiness Advantage: Seven Principles that Fuel Success and Performance at Work Most people assume that success and happiness are linked, but research has shown that this is not the case. In fact, a decade of study in positive psychology has revealed that happiness actually fuels success, not the other way around. Harvard lecturer Shawn Achor shares seven core principles of positive psychology that can be applied to improve performance, grow careers, and gain a competitive edge at work. By understanding how happiness affects our engagement, creativity, resilience to stress, and productivity, we can make positive changes to achieve our goals. This book provides practical advice on how to become happier and more successful, making it a valuable resource for anyone looking to improve their work life.
