The Happiness Advantage

How we experience the world is shaped by our mindset. This book offers practical ways to capitalize on this hypothesis.

This book, based on the popular Harvard course, offers extensive (sometimes tiresome) research to back its central premise and the principles that the author outlines if we wish to carry these practices into our work and personal lives. The biggest takeaways I took from this book are (1) the central premise, that success follows happiness, rather than the other way around and (2) that as a leader, I have the power to spark positive emotions and the resulting knock-on effect among my team and in my organization.
