The Economics of Well-Being - Harvard Business Review

This installment of the HBR happiness articles will not be reading for most of usual readers. I have included this article for all those in business who are responsible for talent development, training and education and all areas of employee engagement that has been difficult to justify without hard results.

Positive Intelligence - Harvard Business Review

Positive Intelligence - Harvard Business Review

I will admit, this is my favorite article in the series.

How could I not like an article that states: In fact, it works the other way around: People who cultivate a positive mind-set perform better in the face of challenge. I call this the “happiness advantage”—every business outcome shows improvement when the brain is positive.

Might I add: Amen!

Enjoy. Andrea T. Goeglein, PhD

The Science Behind the Smile - Harvard Business Review

The Science Behind the Smile - Harvard Business Review

The simplest of actions. The greatest of impacts. What more could you ask? Right behind my dislike for the word Pollyanna when someone is attempting to rebuff the impact of Positive Psychology, is the apparent need mock the impact smiling can have on mood elevation.

Again, I will be as loving as I can when I write this -- mock on, and accept you are wrong! Whether it is the book The How of Happiness, or Gary Russo following his dream of singing by starting with creating smiles, smiling works.

Dr. Success Challenge: Rate your mood on a scale of 1-10 (1 low - 10 high) right now. Now read the HBR article The Science Behind the Smile. When you are done reading the article, again rate your mood on a scale of 1-10. Share your results with me by writing to me at DrSuccess@ServingSuccess.com
