Increasing Productivity
Through Positive Psychology
CorpU has partnered with Shawn Achor, former Harvard researcher
and world-leading expert on the connection between happiness
and success, to build this course based on more than a decade of
research in positive psychology and his book, The Happiness
Advantage.
Achor’s research says that we have the success formula backwards.
Happiness and optimism actually fuel success, not the other way
around. If you want to understand your brain’s potential, you have to
reverse the formula. If you raise your level of optimism, then nearly
every business and educational outcome follows. The study revealed
that happy people are:
