The Happiness Advantage

The Happiness Advantage presents Shawn Achor’s influential argument that happiness does not merely follow success: a positive and resilient mindset can help drive stronger performance, creativity and achievement. Drawing on positive psychology and workplace case studies, Achor organizes the book around seven practical principles for applying this idea at work and in everyday life. The title became an international bestseller and is closely associated with Achor’s widely viewed presentation on happiness and performance.
