The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven.  In today's world we sacrifice happiness for success only to lower our brains' success rates.  Our hard-driving lives leave us feeling stressed, and we feel swamped by the mounting pressure to succeed at any cost. In actuality we become more successful when we are happier and more positive.  Shawn Achor is going to teach us in the next series of podcasts about the Happiness advantage.  It WILL be worth your time.
