How to Leverage the Happiness Advantage
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.
In this episode, Shawn Achor — one of the world’s leading experts on the connection between happiness and success and author of the international bestseller "The Happiness Advantage: How a Positive Brain Fuels Success in Work and Life" — rejoins us to discuss how rewiring our brain for happiness helps us achieve more in our careers and our relationships and as students, leaders, and parents.

Coaching Testimonial
"The Coaching Service served as an incredible perk and has really enhanced my online dating experience"
Submitted by: Karen, USA, 34
My Dating Coach really took the time to go through my profile thoroughly. First she viewed my pictures and gave me great feedback.
She read through the written portion of my profile, line by line, and gave direct feedback on how to add my personality to it.
My amazing consultant, even asked how my contacts where going and offered a few suggestions to increase my interactions with new men.
I took her advice and made the suggested adjustments.
I have received more contact from men, more views, and have started communicating with more people which was the whole point of joining the site in the first place.
The Coaching Service served as an incredible perk and has really enhanced my online dating experience. Thanks!
