Before Happiness
The 5 Hidden Keys to Achieving Success, Spreading Happiness, and Sustaining Positive Change
Why are some people able to make positive change while others remain the same?
In his international bestseller, The Happiness Advantage, Harvard trained researcher Shawn Achor described why happiness is the precursor to greater success. This book is about what comes before both. Because before we can be happy or successful, we need to first develop the ability to see that positive change is possible. Only once we learn to see the world through a more positive lens can we summon all our motivation, emotion, and intelligence to achieve our personal and professional goals.
In Before Happiness, Achor reveals five actionable, proven strategies for changing our lens to positive. By mastering these strategies, you’ll create a renewable source of positivity, motivation, and engagement that will allow you to reach your fullest potential in everything you do.
Why Jimmy Recommends It:
One of my favorite quotes from this book, “If you want to change your life, you first have to change your reality.” I gained a tremendous amount of reinforcement to my very positive outlook to life. Perhaps the most impactful chapter for me was on the topic of “Noise Canceling”. Quickly I implemented many of the strategies mentioned in the book to eliminate negative “noise”.
