Shawn Achor, a happiness expert and positive psychology researcher, says, "It's not necessarily reality that shapes us, but the lens through which your brain views the world, that is what shapes your reality. If we can change the lens, not only can we change your happiness, but we can change every single business and educational outcome at the same time.
"90% of your long term happiness is predicted, not by the external world, but by the way your brain processes the world. 75% of job successes are predicted by your optimism level, your social support and your ability to see stress as a challenge rather than a threat."
"We need to reverse the formula for happiness and success... If you can raise somebody's level of positivity in the present, then their brain experiences what we now call a happiness advantage."
