The Happiness Advantage Review

 

The Happiness Advantage: The Seven Principles of Positive Psychology That Fuel Success and Performance At Work
by Shawn Achor

Think that once you’re happy, you’ll be successful? Positive psychology posits the exact opposite, that happiness breeds success. Shawn Achor uses his professional consulting and extensive research (the notes detailing his sources are 6 pages long!) to support his principles for helping you choose happiness. I’ve read it – once – but already plan to read it again. His TED talk on the topic is one of their Top 10. I have already recommended his work to several other people and am starting his second book.

This review was initially published on LibraryThing on 11/05/2014.
