[Quote No.57209] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"What was going on here was that like so many people in contemporary society, along the way to gaining their superb educations, and their shiny opportunities, they had absorbed the wrong lessons. They had mastered formulas in calculus and chemistry. They had read great books and learned world history and become fluent in foreign languages. But they had had never formally been taught [life-skills, like] how to maximize their brains' potential or how to find meaning and happiness." - Shawn Achor

[Quote No.57212] Need Area: Mind > Plan
"[Plans can be made more successful if they include making the participants happier and more positive:] We become more successful when we are happier and more positive. For example, doctors put in a positive mood before making a diagnosis show almost three times more intelligence and creativity than doctors in a neutral state, and they make accurate diagnoses 19 percent faster. Optimistic salespeople outsell their pessimistic counterparts by 56 percent. Students primed to feel happy before taking math achievement tests far outperform their neutral peers. It turns out that our brains are literally hardwired to perform at their best not when they are negative or even neutral, but when they are positive." - Shawn Achor

[Quote No.57214] Need Area: Mind > Persist
"Success is about more than simple resilience. It's about using that downward momentum [of difficulties] to propel ourselves in the opposite direction. It's about capitalizing on setbacks and adversity to become even happier, even more motivated, and even more successful. It's not falling down, it's falling up." - Shawn Achor

[Quote No.60190] Need Area: Mind > Persist
"Happiness is a mindset for your journey, not the result of your destination!
...Waiting to be happy limits our brain's potential for success, whereas cultivating positive brains makes us more motivated, efficient, resilient, creative, and productive, which drives performance upward.
...We become more successful when we are happier and more positive.
...Your brain at positive is 31% more productive than your brain at negative, neutral or stressed.
...Most people keep waiting on happiness, putting off happiness until they're successful or until they achieve some goal, which means we limit both happiness and success. That formula doesn't work." - Shawn Achor

[Quote No.61911] Need Area: Work > Sell
"[Body language, social atmosphere and people skills are like a mirror with a kind of contagious 'reciprocity':] When people complain, their facial expressions become scrunched and anxious. When we feel threatened by a negative family member or co-worker, our faces usually reflect exactly what we are trying to reject.
Want people around you to be more positive? Check your face first.
Emotions are highly contagious; they spread through our nonverbal cues. When we interact with people who are in a good mood, we subconsciously begin to copy their body language, tone of voice and facial expressions. Once we mimic these physical behaviors, research shows we actually begin to feel the emotion ourselves. When we smile, our mood elevates. Scientists refer to this as the 'facial feedback hypothesis'." - Shawn Achor
Harvard-trained researcher and best-selling author of 'The Happiness Advantage' and 'Before Happiness'.

"Spend two minutes a day scanning the world for three new things you're grateful for. And do that for 21 days, The reason why that's powerful is you're training your brain to scan the world in a new pattern, you're scanning for positives, instead of scanning for threats. It's the fastest way of teaching optimism." - Shawn Achor
