If we study what is merely average, we will remain merely average.

Positivity is such a high predicator of success rates.

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.

You spend money on Internet connection for your employees. Why not spend money on the energy that fuels their brains?

Happiness is not the belief that we don't need to change; it's the realization that we can.

When a manager openly expresses his faith in an employee's skill, he doesn't just improve mood and motivation; he actually improves their likelihood of succeeding.

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.
