Really! *by K***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2021* Let me preface this review by saying I am not a good non-fiction/self-help reader. Shawn Achor is brilliant and I love his presentations...I’ve used his ideas with my students with great success. This book is good, but I’m just having the hardest time getting through it. The things I like about the author in person (his stories and humor) are just not translating well to written form (OMG. Just get to the point already). I blame this solely on me, though. I am NOT patient nor good at reading anything I feel required to read (I picked this book as my “proof” of working toward my professional/teacher review goal). I’ve really had to force myself to read it and I couldn’t really tell you what I’ve read (except that the SAT is only accurate in predicting future success 15% of the time - take that College Board!). I’m about 1/3 of the way through the book (after 8 months) and I haven’t even gotten to the “how to” portion yet. I’m going to try & finish before the end of the school year, so I can be compliant with my yearly review, but it won’t be easy. Mr. Achor, if you ever read this, I apologize! I truly wanted to love it, but I’m just too picky/spoiled/busy to read anything that isn’t a murder mystery. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pulsating with Practical "How To Harness Human Potential BEFORE Positivity" Tips *by J***C on Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2013* This book is REAL. Pithy, unique, and humor sprinkled with scientific vigor.There have been many recipes for happiness and success, but Achor is the first one to tell you WHY you need to harness hope and a can-do attitude first. Why it is imperative before tackling goal-setting. Next, he enlightens you with scientifically proven ingredients and step-by-step instructions how to do it. How you dive into your personal motivational reservoir. How to get your emotional mojo moving, focus your intelligence, and engage your values to get what you want in life.Yes, this takes work. But in a cool, clear writing style, Achor's "Before Happiness" charms. It is very easy to comprehend, despite its scientific mettle. He maps out how you begin with an honest internal look/see. After you explore your psyche, you ascertain what is hindering your positivity. Then he gives you a crisp recipe for putting frosting on your life's experiential cake.Achor teaches you how to focus your microscope until you hone in on what is blocking your journey to happiness/success reality. To explore your beliefs then employ 5 strategies (and many valuable sub-strategies) to clear your way to personal and professional success. In his constellation of brilliant success tips, the star that shines brightest to me was flexibility. You are constantly morphing. The closer you PERCEIVE success to be, the more successful you become.I enjoyed reviewing the arena of social support, as he wrote in his previous book, "The Happiness Advantage". How one of the greatest predictors of positive genius is providing social support to OTHERS. Our own happiness and meaning absolutely need to include others. Instead of whining about your job or life, do something in service of someone else. Watch your happiness and fulfillment soar.Achor tells it like it is. I loved his story-telling format. I could feel his gritty perseverance. His poignant self-disclosure, how he suffered depression when he was studying at Harvard, was an eye-opener. His personal anecdotes add huge value. He walks his happiness talk.This windfall of fascinating learning is a must read. A+. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Inspiring *by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2022* Practical strategies blended with aspiration to live a more inspired and energized life for yourself and those you care about.
