Here is a summary of my lesson learnt From 7 Happiness Advantage by Shawn Achor.

1. Happiness goes beyond ones mood, its a work ethic.

2. Looking at the positive side of things always makes us experience happiness and in turn make us appreciative.

3. We only tend to become successful when we are happier and more positive.

4. When our brains get stuck in a pattern that focuses on stress, negativity, and failure, we set ourselves up to fail.

5. Our brain becomes more productive, creative, energetic and resilient when we are positive.

6. New habits can be formed only if we make the process simpler and not depending on will power only, like Shawn Achor placing his guitar at a close proximity to aid ease of access in rehearsing daily.

7. Reality is bound to happen, this you can't control, the only change you can effect when reality abounds is how you adjust your mindset to give you the power to be more fulfilled and satisfied.
