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.

Happiness is the precursor to success.

The idea of investing in the positivity of employees is often low down on companies' priority lists.

Happiness is a mindset for your journey, not the result of your destination.

Research shows you get multiple tasks done faster if you do them one at a time. It also decreases stress and raises happiness.

You can eliminate depression without making someone happy. You can cure anxiety without teaching someone optimism. You can return someone to work without improving their job performance. If all you strive for is diminishing the bad, you'll only attain the average and you'll miss out entirely on the opportunity to exceed the average.

As we got more interested in time management and productivity, we lost the individual, and with that individual loss, we lost happiness as well. So I think the world has actually been malnourished as we've focused so much on productivity and ignored happiness and meaning to our own detriment.
