Happy Wednesday! I HIGHLY recommend watching this TEDx talk. It’s both entertaining and educational. You’ll learn how to become happier and how happiness is the leading factor of success in life.

Shawn Achor is an author and speaker who is known for his promotion of positive psychology.

Achor debunks the belief that “our external world is predictive of our happiness levels.”

Instead he explains “90% of your long-term happiness is predicted not by the external world but by the way your brain processes the world.”

The Happiness Advantage: “the brain at positive performs significantly better than at negative, neutral, or stressed. Your intelligence rises, your creativity rises, your energy levels rise.”

It’s no longer: success in life = happiness

It’s now happiness = success in life.
