Shawn Achor quotes about
educational reality views
[It's] the lens through which your brain views the world that shapes your reality. And if we can change the lens, not only can we change your happiness, we can change every single educational and business outcome at the same time.
disease absence
The absence of disease is not health.
finding-happiness ifs hard
It's hard to find happiness after success if the goalposts of success keep changing.
individual-choice giving choices
Happiness is actually an individual choice, even in the midst of negative circumstances. It's not something our employers can give to us, though they can limit and influence that choice.
