What if we could train ourselves to be happy? Would you do it? Happy people are more productive, healthy, and active, save more money and have significantly more joy in relationships. Forty years of research on positivity has revealed a path no longer reserved for the lucky. No matter what life event or personality trait, daily actions especially gratitude can take us from ordinary and despair to a state of happiness. You will love what it looks like in the brain.
- Current research shows that the students with the highest levels of reported happiness, score the highest on standardized test scores, report the highest levels of engagement, and have the best classroom behavior.
