Part 3/8:
Achor outlines specific patterns that enable individuals to exploit the happiness advantage in both personal and professional realms. Here are some key principles he discusses:
1. Cultivating Happiness
To elevate our happiness, Achor suggests several evidence-based strategies:
Meditation: Regular meditation has been shown to reduce stress and increase overall well-being.
Anticipation: Finding something to look forward to can enhance our enjoyment and positivity. Studies reveal that anticipation often accounts for more happiness than the activity itself.
Acts of Kindness: Engaging in conscious acts of kindness not only boosts the recipient’s mood but also enhances the giver's happiness.
