Add a CommentShawn Achor uses research studies from his positive psychology background and several other fields to demonstrate the impact of our beliefs on success. Simple exercises to reframe our thinking are mixed in with entertaining studies and personal experiences. Although the title suggests this is a business book, several of the anecdotes relate to health, learning, and family life.
Loved it. Though framed for business, it applies anywhere. Useful, interesting, research-based, occasionally brings really useful "ah ha!"s.
An elaboration on Positive Mental Attitude but through Harvard studies. I guess that makes it real. I knew that all along. Happiness leads to success not the other way around. You create it by deciding to be positive deep into your every action and then you become successful.
Good summary of Positive Psychology techniques. Very practical approach. Good summary but not really anything new beyond what the other Positive Psychology books / audiobooks describe.
