Kurzbeschreibung
Most people want to be successful in life. And of course, everyone wants to be happy. When it comes to the pursuit of success and happiness, most people assume the same formula: if you work hard, you will become successful, and once you become successful, then you'll be happy. The only problem is that a decade of cutting-edge research in the field of positive psychology has proven that this formula is backwards. Success does not beget happiness. Based on the largest study ever conducted on happiness and human potential (a survey conducted by the author of more than 1,600 students), Harvard lecturer Shawn Achor shares seven core principles of positive psychology that each one of us can use to improve our performance, grow our careers, and gain a competitive edge at work. He reveals how happiness actually fuels success and performance, not the other way around. Why? Because when we are happier and more positive we are more engaged, creative, resilient to stress, and productive. "The Happiness Advantage" will appeal to anyone who wants practical advice on how to become happier and also more successful.

Nachdem ich den TED-Talk ([...]) von Shawn Achor zum Thme "Happyness" gesehen habe, war ich gleichzeitig überrascht, begeistert und interessiert. Seine Ansichten und Forschungsergebnisse könnten nicht gegensätzlicher zu meinem Alltag und gleichzeitig wahrer sein. Darum habe ich mir sofort sein Buch auf meinen Kindle geladen. Obwohl ich normalerweise ein sehr langsamer Leser bin und öfters Bücher gar nicht zu Ende lese, habe ich dieses Buch in 3 Tagen durchgelesen (es geht natürlich auch schneller).
Das Buch ist verständlich und locker geschrieben, dazu trägt vor allem die Selbstironie des Authors bei. Er beschreibt seine Entdeckungen anhand von Erlebtem, was immer wieder zum Schmunzeln und zu Aha-Ausrufen animiert.
Besonders gefallen hat mir, dass Shawn nicht nur aufzeigt was alle falsch machen und was eigentlich besser wäre, sondern einige einfache,alltägliche Übungen vorschlägt um das Gelernte gleich umzusetzen.
Trotz der Unterhaltsamen Schreibweise spürt man die fachliche Kompetenz des Authors. Diese spiegelt sich besonders im massiven Quellenverzeichnis wieder, welches jede seiner Beobachtungen/Behauptungen/Hypothesen wissenschaftlich untermauert.
Ich kann dieses Buch uneingeschränkt empfehlen. Als Tip würde ich vorschlagen vor dem Buch einen Vortrag von Shawn Achor auf YouTube anzuschauen um sich mit den Grundzügen des Themas und dem Erzählstil und Charakter vertraut zu machen (das Buch macht dann gleich noch mehr Spaß)

Great information - and fun to read!
16. September 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I read a lot of business books. Most of them are filled with helpful information. Frankly, most of them are also a little on the dry. "The Happiness Advantage" is different. It is filled with fascinating research and great ideas, and it is also a hoot to read. I found myself laughing out loud as I read the book.
Shawn Achor explains the latest research he and his colleagues in the field of positive psychology have conducted. The results are fascinating:
1) Our brains work better when they are "happy."
2) There are concrete things we can do to make our brains "happier."
3) We can also overcome our inclination to procrastinate and put off these exercises. (I found this section to be particularly interesting since I am a procrastinator).
4) When our brains are at "happy" that positivity will ripple out to others and can raise the productivity.
Give this book a look. The research shows that we (and our colleagues at work) can be more productive. And, if we are "happier" our boss will also perceive us as more positive, trustworthy, sincere and successful. Wow! And who wouldn't want to be happier at work - and at home?

Excellent and Unique

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I've read a lot of "happiness" books and frankly when I chose this book I was a little pessimistic about learning anything new. I couldn't have been more wrong. This book, while building on a lot of prior research, is full of new insights and presentation that is refreshingly insightful and helpful. I learned a lot and it was a compelling and convincing read. There is a wealth of useful and practical takeaways from the material. The author works in the real world and doesn't just write from a position in academia and thus has a lot more practical real-world experience than you often find in these types of books mostly written by psychology professors. I consider this one of the best I've read and I highly recommend it.

Surprisingly good insights
21. Oktober 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
When I was invited to review this book, I must admit I was afraid it would be the standard "happiness" pitch. To my surprise and relief, this book turned out to be truly exceptional, beginning with the author's own story.
To be sure, much of the info in this book will be standard fare for anyone who's familiar with the life coaching industry. However, it's packaged in a way that appeals even to left-brained skeptics like me. The author cites research studies to back up each point. Some of the suggestions were totally new to me, and I thought I was deeply familiar with the field.
Just a few highlights that I enjoyed:
p.55 - Work with a signature strength. This recommendation makes lots of sense to me. The book includes a link to a long online survey; I took the survey and found it surprisingly accurate. I'm a little baffled by the authors suggestion to "use it in a new way each day for a week."
p. 67: I loved the discussion of Ellen Langer's research with "senior" men. Langer asked them to imagine themselves as they'd been 20 years earlier. They improved on physical as well as mental measures.
pp 72-73 - Great discussion of leisure. I really resonated to the notion that we tend to think any non-work activity is worthless. This belief becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
p. 121 - A startling experiment asks people to estimate how "fortunate" they would be if they were wounded in a bank robbery. Great comment about interpretations of Wall Streeters!
p. 139 - Solving small problems can lead to big wins.
p. 163: Add 20 seconds to your day and gain several hours.
Highly recommended. I'm glad I got this book to keep instead of borrowing from the library. I want to read it a few more times.
