Fuel Success and Performance with the "Happiness Advantage"

"If you observe the people around you, you'll find most individuals follow a formula that has been subtly or not so subtly taught to them by their schools, their company, their parents, or society. That is: If you work hard, you will become successful, and once you become successful, then you'll be happy." Shawn Achor in The Happiness Advantage

For years we've all been lead to believe that by working harder, we'll achieve the success that will bring us the happiness we so desire. We push ourselves and our employees to do more, be more productive... achieve, achieve, achieve. The problem with this is that it doesn't work. We've now created a society of people who are burned out and unhealthy from stress.

Shawn Achor's book, "The Happiness Advantage" gives some powerful insight into happiness and how studies have shown that positive and happy attitudes fuel success. His book provides business owners with seven practical and actionable principles that have been tried and tested to improve performance and maximize potential.
