When I first heard about "The Happiness Advantage" by Shawn Achor, it was at the ILead gala on Friday May 2nd. And the speaker who mentioned it said it is a book about how happiness fuels success, not the other way around. Drawing from positive psychology to argue that traditional thinking, that we’ll be happy after we’re successful, is backwards. Instead, the author presents evidence that cultivating a positive mindset leads to higher performance, improved health, stronger relationships, and greater achievement.
