“Joy makes us want to invest more deeply in the people around us. It makes us want to learn more about communities. It makes us want to be able to find ways of being able to make this a better external world for all of us.” Shawn Achor This IS the Happiness Advantage.
A1: One of my favorite leadership books is 'The Happiness Advantage' by Shawn Achor. I like the focus on positive psychology, which research shows increases productivity in the work environment! #ASuperWeek
A few chapters in and my favorites Brené Brown & Shawn Achor have already been mentioned?? I know this is going to be a great one!! Lainie Rowell #edutwitter
The first and last 30 minutes of the day are the times when you are most vulnerable to having your attention hijacked.
Shawn Achor calls it building a “mental moat” 🧠 Take 30 minutes to wake up without news, social media, or email.
What we attend to first becomes our reality, so #ChooseJoy . Happiness isn’t the end, it’s the means. Shawn Achor #joyfulleaders #ASCD23
