A story about how happiness fuels productivity…
Back in 1997, researchers conducted a study to explore whether happy doctors perform better than others. They divided a group of doctors in three.
The researchers gave candy to the first group — to spark the feeling of happiness. (

The second group received medicine-related statements to read. 
The third group received nothing.
Then the doctors received a set of symptoms to analyze.
The “happy” doctors came to the correct diagnosis twice as quickly as the others, and they demonstrated three-times more intelligence and creativity.
And all it took was a small piece of candy. Not a big-bucks bonus. Not a promotion. Just a little sweet (and they didn’t even have to eat it).
In his great book, “The Happiness Advantage,” Shawn Achor writes, “Even the smallest shots of positivity can give someone a serious competitive edge.
“Conventional wisdom” suggests productivity and success breed happiness.
But it’s the other way around. 
Happiness breeds productivity and success. → 
So says Achor in “The Happiness Advantage.”
(The docs-and-diagnoses story is just one example he cites.)
“The Happiness Advantage” is the April selection for the Mastermind Book Club.
Each month, Ted Prodromou and I choose a great book for club members to read and discuss.
The discussion begins in our online community. We discuss the book live on Zoom on the fourth Thursday of the month. It’s free to join.
You don’t even have to read the book to participate. Members trade insights from the book (you can tune in without reading) – focusing on how to apply lessons from the book to implement business-building action.
The key word: Implement.
