Like many books of its ilk it's about twice as long as it needs to be. However I did find new and interesting ideas on bringing about positive change. One of my favorites of the "3 waves " to combat negative thinking is " I will not equate worrying with being loving or responsible. " I would recommend this to those who are interested in positive psychology and bringing about positive changes in their environments. If you tell me a book is about happiness, I’m gonna check it out. I just am. This one was not a disappointment. Here are the ideas I took away: “...in the working world the most valuable reality is one in which there is at least a 3:1 ratio of positive to negative interactions….Below this ration, engagement plummeted and turnover rates shot up. In fact, Losada found that the highest-performing teams had a 6:1 ration.” “...Dr. Loretta Malandro names some of the most common blind spots that hold us back in our careers. The primary one...is an inability to rely on other people: when most executives face a massive challenge or stressor, they try to figure out how to solve the problem alone….The second most common blind spot among business leaders is...the ability to see the effect their decisions will have upon their teams. Leaders with this blind spot assume that everyone will view their decisions and choices in the same way they do, or they downplay the importance of feedback; as a result, their perspective on problems or challenges is limited. The final common blind spot is…”bottling it up,” or concealing emotions….” “...we need to change how we judge people…the human tendency to judge our own behavior based on context but to attribute others’ behavior to their character.” “...if you take the power lead (simply by being first to speak) and start with the positive...you can rewrite the script of the entire interaction.” ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

HTML:Why are some people able to make positive change while others remain the same? In his international bestseller, The Happiness Advantage, Harvard trained researcher Shawn Achor described why happiness is the precursor to greater success. This book is about what comes before both. Because before we can be happy or successful, we need to first develop the ability to see that positive change is possible. Only once we learn to see the world through a more positive lens can we summon all our motivation, emotion, and intelligence to achieve our personal and professional goals. In Before Happiness, Achor reveals five actionable, proven strategies for changing our lens to positive: - The Most Valuable Reality: See a broader range of ideas and solutions by changing the details on which your brain chooses to focus - Success Mapping: Set goals oriented around the things in life that matter to you most, whether career advancement or family or making a difference in the world - The X-spot: Use success accelerants to propel you more quickly towards those goals, whether finishing a marathon, reaching a sales target, learning a language, or losing 10 pounds - Noise-Canceling: Boost the signal pointing you to opportunities and possibilities that others miss - Positive Inception: Transfer these skills to your team, your employees, and everyone around you By mastering these strategies, you??ll create an renewable source of positivity, motivation, and engagement that will allow you to reach your fullest potential in everything you No library descriptions found. |

While reading this book, life threw me a challenge: Operation Condor. Did I get recruited to be in a Jackie Chan remake of a movie? No, it was just a project at work that I got thrown into .... a project far behind and understaffed with some really demanding clients. It was killing me.
With a few tricks from this book, I survived and actually the end of the Condor is within sight and reach. I found the X spot. ( )
