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.

Happiness is the joy we feel striving after our potential.

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

Constantly scanning the world for the negative comes with a great cost. It undercuts our creativity, raises our stress levels, and lowers our motivation and ability to accomplish goals.

Study after study shows that happiness precedes important outcomes and indicators of thriving.

So many people are struggling to create happiness while their brain is inundated by noise. If your brain is receiving too much information, it automatically thinks you're under threat and scans the world for the negative first. Because the brain is limited, whatever you attend to first becomes your reality.

Habits are like financial capital – forming one today is an investment that will automatically give out returns for years to come.
