The Happiness Myth
Happiness is often seen as a reward for success. But what if it's the other way around? In this book, Shawn Achor argues that happiness is the key to success, not the other way around. By focusing on happiness, you can improve your performance, relationships, and overall life satisfaction.

Work Hard -> Success -> Happiness
But in reality:
Happiness + Positive Mindset -> Success.
