Mar 07, 2013 Shawn Achor: The happy secret to better work
I typically avoid sharing TED talks because the scale that they are operating at now just generates thousands of incredible presentations that you just want to share every single one of them. However I recently came across this wonderful talk by Shawn Achor, CEO of Good Think, who researches and teaches the world about positive psychology. What he preaches are things that most people already know, but what makes him unique is in the way he delivers the message. I’ve posted a few other videos on this very same topic, so why not post this one as well. Enjoy!
“If happiness is on the other side of success, your brain never gets there. What we’ve done is push happiness over the cognitive horizon as a society and that’s because we think we have to be successful then we’ll be happier. The real problem is that our brain works in the opposite order.”
