“It’s the lens through which your brain views the world that shapes your reality. And if we can change the lens, not only can we change your happiness, we can change every single educational and business outcome at the same time.”
~~ Shawn Achor

TED is one of the web’s greatest success stories, not in the monetary sense because it’s a non-profit and that’s part of what makes it so special. Its success is specifically with regard to how technology can make possible what was not possible before and broaden anyone’s reach to touch another life..
TED believes passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and ultimately, the world. They're building here a clearinghouse that offers free knowledge and inspiration from the world's most inspired thinkers, and also a community of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other.
Shawn Achor is the winner of over a dozen distinguished teaching awards at Harvard University, where he delivered lectures on positive psychology in the most popular class at Harvard.
At the heart of this talk is more heart. I am so honored to follow Karolina’s lead and be able to watch Shawn's amazingly significant talk about us being better right now. Being extraordinarily aware is beauty. His beauty is truth.
Unlocking creativity, inspiration, innovation, passion and all the things companies need more of may really start with creating happiness. Employee happiness and corporate profit are not enemies.
What follows was one of the funniest, but yet most insightful TED talks I've seen in a long time. I'm happier just listening to this great speaker... Laughing out loud to myself. I think you’re going to get a lot from it too.
We believe that we should work to be happy, but could that be backwards?
In this fast-moving and entertaining talk, psychologist
Shawn Achor argues that actually happiness inspires productivity
Indeed reversing the success formula is the key: happiness before success, and not the other way around.
Have a GREAT day, be happy and…
Love Life!
