StoryShots Summary of The Happiness Advantage: The Seven Principles of Positive Psychology that Fuel Success and Performance at Work by Shawn Achor Introduction Imagine a world where success doesn't lead to happiness, but happiness leads to success. This is the world Shawn Achor introduces us to in The Happiness Advantage. Achor, a Harvard graduate and positive psychology expert, challenges the idea that hard work and success lead to happiness. Instead, he proposes that happiness is a precursor to success. Extensive research in the field of positive psychology backs this revolutionary perspective. It provides a roadmap for achieving personal and professional fulfillment. The Happiness Advantage doesn't just explore happiness in theory; it is a practical guide to enhancing every aspect of our lives. About Shawn Achor Shawn Achor is a distinguished Harvard alumnus and lecturer. He is also a leading figure in the burgeoning field of positive psychology. His research into happiness and human potential has garnered attention from numerous media outlets, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and CNN. Achor's TED talk, “The Happy Secret to Better Work,” is one of the most popular of all time, with over 20 million views. His other bestselling books include Before Happiness and Big Potential. Achor's mission is to share the findings of positive psychology with the world. He wants to help people and organizations realize their full potential and cultivate a culture of positivity and success. StoryShot 1: Happiness Fuels Success Shawn Achor's research indicates that happiness is not a byproduct of success but a critical precursor to it. He argues that when we are happy, our brains function better and are more productive, creative, and motivated. This means that happiness can help us maximize our talents and achieve our goals. In fact, studies have shown that individuals with a positive outlook tend to outperform those with a negative outlook. For instance, a study conducted by MetLife found that optimistic salespeople outsold pessimistic ones by a huge 37%. This suggests that having a happy and positive outlook can directly contribute to one's success in their endeavors. In short, we need to prioritize and cultivate happiness in our lives if we want to unlock our full potential and achieve greater success. “Happiness is not the belief that we don't need to change; it is the realization that we can.” — Shawn Achor StoryShot 2: Our Mindset Is the Fulcrum and Our Effort Is the Lever Learn more about your ad choices.

The journey Jackie Simmons took to become a coach is one uniquely her own. A profound difference in how she approaches engaging with her clients is by working with them on aligning who they are and how they best interact with the world themselves so they can create their village of people to best support them. Amazing! Her passion extends beyond that of helping others harness their potential, it also extends to helping people figure out how to live. Jackie shares with us the story of her daughter, Stephanie, who attempted to take her life 14 times. It was because of the struggles her daughter faced that Jackie, along with her daughters, decided to create the non-profit, Teen Suicide Prevention Society, to prevent teen suicide. As Jackie shared, "We've learned that people don't attempt to take their own lives because they're trying to die. They attempt to take their own lives because they haven't figured out how to live." May is Mental Health Month and we are honored to share with you Jackie's story.  Author and TEDx Speaker, Jackie Simmons, believes in tackling complex and challenging topics and making sense out of them.As the creator of Conscious Transformational Coaching, Jackie believes that you deserve to experience yourself as great, every session, every time. Jackie shares alternatives to get you unstuck, find out what's true and what's not true – spot the elephant in the room – so that you can have what you want and what you deserve.Life doesn't always give us time to experience ourselves as great. Life often hands us the opposite.On April 1, 2020, Jackie and her 3 daughters co-founded the non-profit, Teen Suicide Prevention Society and launched the mission to make teen suicide a thing of the past. The mission has grown to include two books, 3 programs, and “The Talk that Saves Lives” which Jackie presented on January 16, 2021 at TEDx TenayaPaseo in Las Vegas.Connect with Jackie to learn more about her and her background:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mindsetisagame/TedX Talk: "The Talk that Saves Lives"Book, The Happiness Advantage by Shawn AchorBook, Big Potential by Shawn AchorBook, Before Happiness by Shawn AchorBook, Cracking the Code by JW WilsonSign up for our newsletter at https://abbraccigroup.com/.

Success is not an accident. You will have success as long as you don't quit. In today's episode, I draw on thoughts from two books, "Before Happiness" by Shawn Achor, and "Think Like a Monk" by Jay Shetty. These books help dispel the myth that success = happiness. Join me as I explain that coming from a place of joy or happiness is integral in having a successful business and in making sure you don't quit.

Show NotesToday's Discussion Points:1.) In-season Training - the WhyIt's possible now to play the same sport year round and in-season training is almost year roundDo you value playing more games or value improving and recovering physically?“You won't have to GET ready if you always STAY ready.”You will atrophy during the season, you give up strength and muscle to play the game. But the goal should be to atrophy the least amount possible, and less than your competitor.It's not just missing lifts, it's the increase in stress, pressure, travel, nutrition on the run, and lack of a routineThe team with their best players playing at the end of the year has the best chance of winning in the postseason2.) The HowIf you stay consistent (x2 week in season) and select the right exercises and intensity you don't need to worry about getting sore or jeopardizing performanceSoft tissue work, stretch, short warm up, lift a few heavy things, do some single leg and core stuff, go home (30-45 minute workouts)Drop the volume and duration, keep the intensity highMinimal Effective Dose! If you do just enough, some athlete may actually make gains in-seasonRules: 1 heavy set, no impact (no jumping or running), no conditioning, don't skip rolling and stretchingThe best conditioning is a well organized practice - John Wooden on LeadershipBook Club recommendation:Kevin: The Happiness Advantage & Before Happiness by Shawn ArcherBrendon: The Back Mechanic by Stuart McGillWhat's coming up next?CFSC Los Gatos Feb. 27th - CFSC Level 1 Certification | February 27th, 2022 - Los Altos, CAMBSC winter seminar - Feb 26th & 27th Virtual & In-personOur other upcoming CFSC events

How can I have optimism, happiness and social connectivity during the coronavirus pandemic?    Acclaimed happiness expert Shawn Achor reminds us that it’s in the darkest times that we need optimism, gratitude and social connection the most.   After spending 12 years at Harvard earning dozens of distinguished teaching awards, Shawn went on to become a New York Times bestselling author of The Happiness Advantage and Big Potential, deliver a TEDx with over 19 million views and work with 30+ Fortune 100 companies.   Today, Shawn joins me to talk about coronavirus and what you can do to be happy and feel connected during this season of unprecedented adversity. You’ll leave today’s conversation with research-based reasoning to be optimistic and 3 practical tips to increase during any season of uncertainty. SHOW NOTES: During high school, Shawn recalls the Branch Davidians + how the Waco siege gave him insight and compassion for people trying to understand conflicts.  Shawn is fascinated by how some people can rise out of a challenge and use it to propel them forward while it can paralyze others. As a volunteer firefighter, Shawn unexpectedly was accepted to Harvard and granted a military scholarship. His admission essay focused on his hunger to expand his small world and how he'd want to remind his peers how privileged they were. Expectations affect gratitude: Quickly, Shawn recognized that many of his peers' expectations were met in attending Harvard and didn't experience the same level of gratitude because his acceptance was not expected.  Rather than embracing the gift of the moment, we often are too focused on looking forward.  While doing research on Harvard, Shawn saw that success wasn't yielding happiness because your brain adjusts to what the goal is. Does success = happiness? If people become happier, raise their gratitude for the present, deepen social networks or raise their levels of optimism, then success rates rise dramatically. "Happiness during good times is more of a luxury item. When things get difficult, happiness has an even more beneficial effect." "In the darkest times is when we need optimism, gratitude and social connection the most." "Happiness is not irrational optimism." "Optimism allows your brain to be the most adaptive possible when the negative occurs." Rational optimism: starts with a realistic assessment of the present but maintains the belief that eventually my behavior will matter if linked to the right people. While teaching and researching happiness, Shawn courageously shared he was battling depression. While battling depression, Shawn learned that the majority of our happiness is interconnected with each other. In his book Big Potential, Shawn shares groundbreaking University of Virginia research on how our very perception of reality is transformed by the presence of others. If someone who is genetically predisposed to pessimism can make small tweaks to their day, they can experience impactful change.  Three practical tips to increase optimism, happiness and social connectivity:   Each day, practice scanning for 3 new things that happened in the last 24 hours that you're grateful for.  When anything positive happens, jot it down on a piece of paper, throw them in a bowl and read back through them at a later date. Take a few minutes to send a positive message, email or text to someone which will create a ripple effect and a reciprocal loop. "Happiness is not the belief that we don’t need to change; it is the realization that we can."

Happiness is one of the 6 basic emotions…and Shawn Achor defined happiness in his first book, The Happiness Advantage, as “the joy we feel moving toward our potential.” A new year feels like a change which can bring new energy for new ideas and new habits.

Why We Love Leanne: Leanne Shear is the co-founder of Uplift, a progressive fitness studio and female society that offers group classes, personal training and a multitude of events outside of fitness related to career, relationships, finances, and well-being (panels, retreats, workshops) that empower women in all aspects of their lives. Before conceiving the idea for Uplift, Leanne was a professional writer: she is the author of The Perfect Manhattan and Cocktail Therapy: The Perfect Prescription for Life’s Many Crises, and her writing has also been featured in The Nation, The New York Times, New York, and Glamour, among others. Leanne graduated with honors from the University of Pennsylvania and received a Master’s degree in Women’s Studies and Cultural Politics from New York University. On the Pod, We Discuss: Her different why behind fitness and how being strong physically translates to empowerment in all facets of life. Leanne’s career trajectory from professional writer to where she is now. Why sometimes the next step is just to take the next step and not be afraid. How she shifts her negative thoughts into positive ones. Her mixed feelings on Masters Degrees and why she believes there are easier better ways to get out there and do what we want. Why taking the baby steps is the best way to start, and why mitigating the noise in your own head is the most important. Confidence comes from taking action not from thinking. How she built Uplift into something much bigger than a boutique fitness studio. Why overcoming limiting beliefs is crucial if you want to succeed in life. Uplifts retreats and what’s coming up this year. Why making friends as an adult can be so hard and how a place like Uplift or retreats are a great way to make friends and make connections around stuff you’re into. What’s on the horizon for Leanne.

PCOS and Adrenal Fatigue  http://learntruehealth.com/pcos-and-adrenal-fatigue/ Feel Better Every Day, Starting Now, With Natural Medicine PCOS and Adrenal Fatigue, and Hashimoto's Thyroid are common diseases of women around the world. Dr. Brooke Kalanick, a licensed Naturopathic Doctor and functional medicine practitioner, will join us in today's episode as we go through women's health and treating these diseases using natural medicine. "Women deserve to understand how their body works and how many options they have so they can make the healthiest and most empowered choice for themselves..." - Dr. Brooke Kalanick Brooke specializes in weight loss, women’s health, and hypothyroidism. While attending Bastyr University in Seattle, Washington, Dr. Brooke earned her Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine and Masters in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine.  She has studied and worked along with leading functional medicine physicians including Dr. Datis Kharrahzian, Dr. David Brady, and Dr. Tori Hudson. According to Dr. Kalanick, many women are given limited options for her specialties such as the pill or metformin for PCOS and Synthroid for Hashimoto's. But many women don't realize they have in fact many options in the realm of natural medicine. These options involve diet, lifestyle, and exercise can help women feel better and gain more ground than their conventional options alone. It was shocking to hear that Dr. Brooke sees women get put immediately on hormone replacement by their MDs (bioidentical or otherwise) without more thought given to the cause of their hormonal imbalance. The 5 Healthy Rules Every Woman Should Live By Brooke is most passionate about two things: giving women options and helping them do what works for them in a loving, healthy way. So, her #1 advice for anyone with these issues is to follow her 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 rule: 5.) Take 5 walks a week 4.) Eat 4 meals a day (helps balance blood sugar and lower stress) 3.) Strength training 3 times a week within your ability 2.) Drink twice as much water 1.) Do one more activity a day to love/nurture yourself Get connected with Dr. Brooke Kalanick!

If you've ever wondered what the most successful people in the world know that the rest of us don't, then do we have the show for you! Today we're going to talk with one of the most positive researchers in the world! * Bio at bottom. His name is Shawn Achor and he's one of the world's leading experts on the connection between happiness and success. His research on mindset made the cover of Harvard Business Review, his TED talk is one of the most popular with over 11 million views, he's lectured or worked with over a third of the Fortune 100 companies, as well as the NFL, the NBA, the Pentagon and the White House. Shawn is the author of New York Times best-selling books The Happiness Advantage (2010) and Before Happiness (2013) and he recently did a two-hour interview with Oprah at her house to discuss his mission to bring positive psychology to the world. Today we're going to talk using positive psychology to rewrite your own maps, and completely transform your life. This means greater success at work, happiness at home, and new outlook, for a new you. It's come at an incredible time too. Our show hits our one month anniversary, tomorrow. At present we have thousands of listeners in at least 78 countries, we're growing exponentially with today being our highest growth day ever, and this morning, we woke up to find we're the #15 self-help show in the world…all in under one month. I want to talk with Steve about this, about how our mindset and our maps truly create our reality -> and how to use that to our advantage! So what's the goal of today's show: To give you the advice you need to become a “positive genius” and bring tremendous success into your life! Topics include: What creates greater levels of happiness. Why when you're happy first, everything improves – How happiness is really is first step before success. Most important: First have to believe change is possible – Understanding this is the biggest change in positive psychology movement Understanding why happiness must precede success and why success does NOT bring happiness This is why “successful” movie stars, musicians, professional athletes, and even tenured professors are not happy. And is why Oprah was depressed at the height of her career And why Shawn Achor himself was depressed while at Harvard Understanding that it's not about your genes, even if you're “pre-disposed” toward something May have genes that predispose you, but it's not about your genes. Making small changes in your life on a daily basis can have major impact on rewiring your mind. Small changes have macro-level affects on our intelligence creativity and ability to be positive. Big question is: What's the smallest intervention possible?   Key Exercise: For 21 days in a row think of 3 things they're grateful for each morning or each day you get into work (CHECK OUT OUR HAPPINESS MEDITATION FOR A SIMILAR GUIDED MEDITATION EXERCISE) This activity of scanning the world is extremely powerful. It can take people who have been genetically low-level pessimists, and in 21 days turn them into life-long optimists!!! Doing this exercise with 4 year olds at the dinner table, having them scan for things to be grateful for, can turn them from lifelong default pessimist to lifelong optimist. Every outcome improves when human brain is positive first As important children practice this as brushing their teeth or eating breakfast. An extremely important habit for both kids and adults alike – for adults important to practice this before going to work, or first thing when they get in to work. Important note on this exercise: Must be things are grateful for that are NEW (that's occurred over last 24 hours and why) Rewires the brain to start to scan for the positive and see the opportunities that are around you. Without exercises like this, your ability to focus on the positive can atrophy. 5 HABITS THAT CREATE POSITIVE CHANGE Every day when get into work, first job to write 2 minute positive email praising or thanking someone they know. Do this for just 3 days in a row and people literally get addicted to it, and others write great emails back. 21 days later on your social connection score is off the chart in social support, because you have 21 people you've meaningfully activated. The Single greatest predictor of long term happiness is breathe, depth, and meaning of social networks. Social connection is as predictive of life expectancy as the food you eat, how much exercise you do, and even whether you smoke or not. Social connections are why western males don't live as long as their female counterparts, and why western males are so much more likely to have heart-attacks. Success rarely leads to happiness However, if you can get someone to be positive, they rise to the highest possibility within your band of potential Lucky vs. unlucky people Unlucky people are simply not focused on the positives and so don't see the potential around them. Amazing study about lucky vs. unlucky people – the “lucky” people saw opportunity the pessimists or “unlucky” people did not. In 21 days can make 1 positive habit Discussed why some army rangers (optomists) see a 600 foot hill as 600 feet and scramble for safety, while other soldiers (pessimists) see it as 900 feet, and give up under attack without even attempting the hill. Shared a study about coffee shop reward cards and the lessons learned. Never start goal from zero – instead anytime make resolution or create goal, write down three accomplishments already had, or resolutions you were already able to keep. Showing what you've already accomplished (aka not starting from zero) fuel's growth toward other activities. This is also power of journaling – share one positive experience they had. Shawn Achor has started a 21 day O-course with Oprah to help retrain people's minds for happiness. It's at Oprah.com/happiness Many Fortune 100 companies are implementing these happiness strategies including: CEO Habitat for Humanity, Buick, Mckenzie company Worked with Google and Laszlo Bock as well.  Showed how 2 minutes of sitting silently at computer / aka meditating can make a HUGE difference on employees performance and happiness.  Realize the poison of a victim mentality It's not about our genes, the market or what others have done to us. It's a fallacy that we can't change other people. If we're positive we can have a big impact. We can greatly influence them and make them positive Focus on the low-hanging fruit, grass-roots, be a positive influence on those directly around you. For instance, don't go for your boss, but your co-workers around you. California Wave campaign in extreme high-crime neighborhood. Officers went door to door – were not well received Officers then started smiling and waving to everyone. Officers became engaged with community and crime dramatically dropped Shawn Achor worked with White House Suggestion made during Baltimore protests that a wave campaign to build community could have a more positive impact than beefing up police security Hospital campaign modeled after the Hilton. When patient comes w/in 10 feet make eye contact. At five feet see if there's anything you can do to help them. Dramatically improved people's response to hospital, their likelihood to recommend the hospital, the likelihood to return to the same hospital, and quite possibly, their healing as well! Dramatically improved patient care! Importance you don't ‘delay' happiness You are not your genes and your environment, you can change.   For more information and to find the Oprah Winfrey course and to visit Shawn Achor's website visit www.InspireNationShow.com     Shawn Achor Bio: After spending twelve years at Harvard University, Shawn Achor has become one of the world's leading experts on the connection between happiness and success.

Hi everyone, Michael Sandler here your host on inspire nation. Today we have a very short, yet powerful happiness meditation. It's similar to gratitude ones, but really focused on rewiring the mind for the positive. It was inspired by my interview with Steve Achor, one of the world's leading researchers on happiness, a partner with Oprah on an O-Course, and the best-selling author of the Happiness Advantage and Before Happiness. You can find his interview on our Inspire Nation Show and on our website at InspireNationShow.com. This meditation can be done anytime of the day, but I recommend it first thing after you get up in the morning, or definitely before you head out the door. This is a great one to commit to for 21 days. That's how long it takes to make a habit, and according to Shawn Achor, America's #1 Happiness Expert, focusing on gratitude and happiness for 21 days yields massive long-term results. This is a meditation that gets easier over time. At first, it's difficult for the mind, as we're not wired to find happiness quickly. But that changes rapidly, creating new neural pathways, or literally changing the wiring of your mind. You can find more meditations from me and our guests on our Inspire Nation Show and InspireNationShow.com. Inspired by Shawn Achor - The Happiness Advantage - Before Happiness, and Deepak Chopra and Wayne Dyer Inspiration | Motivation | Spirituality | Self-Help | Mindfulness | Relaxation
