Discover the breakthrough science of happiness with renowned author and researcher Shawn Achor as he describes how to use the science of happiness to look younger, live longer, enjoy better health, connect with loved ones and become more creative and successful in all that you do. "Our most commonly held formula for success is broken. Conventional wisdom holds that if we work hard we will be more successful, and if we are more successful, then we'll be happy...this formula is actually backward: Happiness fuels success, not the other way around." In this life changing television special, Achor uses humor to explain why happiness is a choice, and how research shows that a whopping 90% of your happiness is based on how you process the world. He describes how to train your brain for higher levels of optimism and how these small positive changes can ripple out to others. Achor teaches five scientifically proven strategies of happiness that will not only increase your levels of optimism but will help you live longer, feel better, lose weight, reduce stress, increase creativity, make better financial decisions, become more successful at work or school, and the list goes on and on. SHAWN ACHOR is a world renowned researcher and author who spent more than a decade teaching and researching positive psychology at Harvard University and in nearly 50 countries around the world. Shawn's research on happiness and human potential has received attention from The New York Times, Boston Globe, Forbes, Harvard Business Review, CNN, and NPR.
