Positive psychology has demonstrated that happiness improves performance and productivity. On this call, we discussed an interview with Shawn Achor, who is well known for “The Happiness Advantage: Linking Positive Brains to Performance”

  • To be happy, we need more meaning

  • We need to feel connected to others

  • Pain and fatigue negatively affect how we perceive challenges

  • Create positive momentum

  • Surround yourself with people who choose happiness too

  • “We become the average of the five people we spend the most time with” – Jim Rohn

  • Let go of comparison, even when giving praise

  • Deepen social connections

  • Stress causes us to stop doing what makes us happy, feel isolated, and make things worse

  • Focus on gratitude, acts of kindness, and giving appreciation
