How a Positive Brain Fuels Success in Work and Life

How Transforming the Pursuit of Success Raises Our Achievement, Happiness, and Well-Being

"With cutting-edge research, penetrating insights, and practical examples, Shawn Achor describes a new conception of 'success,' and in doing so, reveals exciting new strategies we can use to meet our highest potential."--Gretchen Rubin, bestselling author of The Happiness Project

"A vibrant book on how to bring out the best in others--and how they can bring out the best in us."--Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and host of the podcast WorkLife

In a world that thrives on competition and individual achievement, we're measuring and pursuing potential incorrectly. Pursuing success in isolation--pushing others away as we push ourselves too hard--not only limits our potential but makes us more stressed and disconnected than ever.
 
Harvard-trained researcher Shawn Achor reveals a better approach. With exciting new research combining neuroscience and psychology with Big Data, Achor shows that our potential is not limited by what we alone can achieve. Instead, it is determined by how we complement, contribute to, and benefit from the abilities and achievements of people around us.
 
When we--as individuals, leaders, and parents--chase only individual achievement, we leave vast sources of potential untapped. But once we put "others" back into the equation, and work to make others better, we ignite a Virtuous Cycle of cascading successes that amplify our own.

The dramatic shifts in how we approach work today demand an equally dramatic shift in our approach to success. In Big Potential, Achor draws on cutting-edge original research as well as his work with nearly half of the Fortune 100 and with places like NASA, the NFL and the NBA, and offers a new path to thriving in the modern world.

5 Modern Strategies for Balancing Productivity and Well-Being in the Digital Era

Technology--at least in theory--is improving our productivity, efficiency, and communication. The one thing it's not doing is making us happier. We are experiencing historically high levels of depression and dissatisfaction. But it doesn't have to be that way. Technology can drive--not diminish--human happiness.

Our brains receive 11 million bits of information every second but can only process 40 bits at any given time. Thanks to the latest technology, you have a say in what information you consume. We now have the tools to train our brains to scan the world for the positive, trumping our genes and our environment to reach our full potential.

Knowing that technology is here to stay and will continue to evolve in form and function, we need to know how to navigate the future to achieve a better balance between technology, productivity, and wellbeing.

InThe Future of Happiness, author Amy Blankson, co-founder of the global positive psychology consulting firm GoodThink, unveils five strategies that successful individuals can use to not just survive--but to actually thrive--in the Digital Age:

Stay grounded to focus and channel your energy with intention
Know thyself through app-driven data to strive toward your potential
Train your brain to develop and sustain an optimistic mindset
Create a habitat for happiness to maximize the spaces and places in which you live, work, and learn
Be a conscious innovator to actively shape your future

By rethinking when, where, why and how you use technology, you will not only able to influence your own wellbeing but also help shape the future of your community. Discover how futuristic technologies can transform the idea of "I'll be happy when . . ." to your way of beingnow.
