Our most commonly held formula for success is broken. Conventional
wisdom holds that if we work hard we will be more successful, and
if we are more successful, then we'll be happy. If we can just find
that great job, win that next promotion, lose those five pounds,
happiness will follow. But recent discoveries in the field of
positive psychology have shown that this formula is actually
backward: Happiness fuels success, not the other way around. When
we are positive, our brains become more engaged, creative,
motivated, energetic, resilient, and productive at work. This isn't
just an empty mantra. This discovery has been repeatedly borne out
by rigorous research in psychology and neuroscience, management
studies, and the bottom lines of organizations around the globe. In
The Happiness Advantage, Shawn Achor, who spent over a decade
living, researching, and lecturing at Harvard University, draws on
his own research -- including one of the largest studies of
happiness and potential at Harvard and others at companies like UBS
and KPMG -- to fix this broken formula. Using stories and case
studies from his work with thousands of Fortune 500 executives in
42 countries, Achor explains how we can reprogram our brains to
become more positive in order to gain a competitive edge at work.
Isolating seven practical, actionable principles that have been
tried and tested everywhere from classrooms to boardrooms,
stretching from Argentina to Zimbabwe, he shows us how we can
capitalize on the Happiness Advantage to improve our performance
and maximize our potential. Among the principles he outlines: * The
Tetris Effect: how to retrain our brains to spot patterns of
possibility, so we can see -- and seize -- opportunities wherever
we look. * The Zorro Circle: how to channel our efforts on small,
manageable goals, to gain the leverage to gradually conquer bigger
and bigger ones. * Social Investment: how to reap the dividends of
investing in one
