Das Happiness-Prinzip

How to become more successful and productive with 7 building blocks of positive psychology. Shawn Achor is funny, self-deprecating, and turns established notions of happiness upside down. A common saying suggests that we will be happy once we achieve success – we just need to land that great job, secure the beautiful apartment, or lose those extra two kilos. The latest research in positive psychology shows that this principle is outdated, as happiness promotes success, not the other way around. In "The Happiness Principle," the New York Times bestselling author presents his groundbreaking concept. He demonstrates how small changes in our mindset and habits can lead to significant results. He has developed seven building blocks for a successful life, including:

• The Pivot Point and the Lever: How a change in mentality boosts your performance.
• The Tetris Effect: How to fully utilize your potential by training your brain.
• The 20-Second Rule: How removing obstacles can turn bad habits into good ones.

Shawn Achor proves that happy people are better problem solvers, live significantly healthier lives, have deeper social connections, and are more resilient to stress. This book is intended for anyone who wants to unlock their full performance potential in all areas of life.
