A book for just about anyone . . . The philosophies in this book are easily the best wire frames to build a happy and successful life.”—Medium\u003c\/b\u003e\n\n \u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\n\nHappiness is not the belief that we don’t need to change; it is the realization that we can.\n\n \n\nOur 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.\n\n \n\nResearch shows that happy employees are more productive, more creative, and better problem solvers than their unhappy peers. And positive people are significantly healthier and less stressed and enjoy deeper social interaction than the less positive people around them.\n\n \n\nDrawing on original research—including one of the largest studies of happiness ever conducted—and work in boardrooms and classrooms across forty-two countries, Shawn Achor 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. His strategies include:\n\n \n\n• \u003cb\u003eThe Tetris Effect:\u003c\/b\u003e how to retrain our brains to spot patterns of possibility so we can see and seize opportunities all around us\n\n• \u003cb\u003eSocial Investment:\u003c\/b\u003e how to earn the dividends of a strong social support network\n\n• \u003cb\u003eThe Ripple Effect:\u003c\/b\u003e how to spread positive change within our teams, companies, and families\n\n \n\nBy turns fascinating, hopeful, and timely, The Happiness Advantage reveals how small shifts in our mind-set and habits can produce big gains at work, at home, and elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eProduct image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crown, 2010","offers":[{"title":"The Happiness Advantage The Seven Principles of Positive Psychology That Fuel Success and Performance atWork \/ Very Good","offer_id":55920416882980,"sku":"9780307591548VG","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/files\/public_f3f837d6-a933-4636-b521-ce250755d85a.jpg?v=1785083196","url":"https:\/\/brookingsbooks.com\/products\/9780307591548","provider":"Brookings Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
