The Happiness Advantage is a book based on positive psychology that challenges the traditional idea that success brings happiness. Author Shawn Achor argues that, in fact, happiness is what fuels success, not the other way round. Basing his theory on original research and data from Harvard and studies in various work and school settings, Achor presents seven practical principles that help create a positive mindset and increase productivity, creativity and performance at work and in life. The book combines real examples, practical exercises and applied advice that make the concepts of happiness understandable and usable for every reader.
