Fantastic read. Learned so much from this book that I want to start it all over again! This book has principles that apply to both your personal and professional life, and I will 100% recommend to everyone!

Good, but too focused on business. I had the sense when I was reading this that the author had an editor pushing him to make the book more applicable to the corporate world. Or, it could just be that the author derives a majority of his income consulting corporations. But, I think this effort to tie everything back to workplace (& only corporate workplace) betrays the core message of the book. I guess I should have paid closer attention to the sub-title: …"that fuel success and performance at work!" The author essentially begins by telling us that happiness is not derived from success in the workplace, but then ties everything back to success in the work place. It's a split message that pretends to be teaching us how to be happy but in the end is simply driving the same old narrative of the corporate world. Where are the happy people who don't follow traditional paths? I was able to glean some useful info from the book, but was highly annoyed that I had to wade through so much business schlock. This author needs to take his schtick into worlds beyond the fortune 500 & ask what his real motivation is. Because the world needs the message he can deliver.

Practical and well written. Practical application mixed with easy to remember stories, studies, and examples.

An amazing way to live your life!. Oh Science! I just love the abundance of science, evidence and experiments in the book. It’s not the “opinion” of the “wise author” here but evidence-based proven results. This book can replace The Bible! Not only will you have amazing life results while practicing the ideas of the book, but more importantly you will enjoy your every day doing it! You will readily enjoy the process of living while affecting the results of your life, what more can you ask for? Many Many Congrats Shawn !!

Business Owner. Loved this book! I have always been a positive person but now in trouble times and can continue being positive and help those around me be positive and happy too!

The happiness advantage. Confirms the way I live my life. Offers great outlines and gives examples of how and why this philosophy really works. I feel less like a Pollyanna and more like what I am doing is for real;-)

Sound advice and 'battle-tested'. After listening to this book twice in audiobook format, I chose to buy it here on iBooks. It's content and message is easily understood and equally 'user-friendly' when it comes to actually apply it in real-life. I'd recommend it to everyone!

Excellent Book. This is a straight forward, fun and easy to apply book that will make you stronger.

Wonderful book. This is possibly the most inspirational book I've ever read.

Insightful. This is an incredible book! It was very insightful, and made studying about different physiological studies entertaining and interesting.

A Must Read. Despite the concern that this book is focused on corporate America, I could not believe how incredibly transferable the principles are to every arena of life. I've known Shawn for many years and this is stellar work! Thanks, Shawn, for this great contribution.

The Happiness Advantage. I love loved this book. It’s nice to know that life really is that simple, baby steps. I have been on point with my weight for a week , I woud only make it 3-4 days then give up.

Interesting. Not only a very interesting book but it is very influential on my life which is really cool.

Great book. Highly recommend this book. It did confirm for me that my happiness precedes my success.

I am inspired after reading this book. I can't wait to try some of these ideas in my life.

The Happiness Advantage. This book should be read by anyone and everyone. The information in this book can help you transform your life and the way you look at it. READ IT!!!!!

Great work!. Beautiful work !

Excellent book!. I loved this book, it is based on research and written by a professor, but still has a fun and easy tone for all readers to understand and enjoy it!

A must read. Excellent. Everyone should read this.

Powerful and practical. I've read many books on personal and professional development, and many of them were great, but the Happiness Advantage has directly impacted my life and career in a major and positive way. As Achor breaks down his findings on positive psychology into seven core principles, he doesn't just give you useful tips and ideas -- he gives you a complete framework for looking at your job, your personal relationships, your life and yourself. This book has literally helped to shift my perspective on many areas of life, reshaping notions I'd assumed to be givens. He backs up this big picture perspective with real world studies and data, and every chapter provides practical exercises to help you implement and master the principles. I supervise a team of inbound sales representatives in a call center environment, and I'm already seeing improvement in team morale and daily production since I've been utilizing the concepts in this book. If you want to help bring a team together and weed out negativity, as well as enhance your own life, this book definitely offers a path to get there.

Step by step. Shawn Achor does a great job explaining "Positive Psychology" and teaching the "Happiness Advantage" step by step... A must read for anyone wanting to live life to its fullest potential!

Life Changing Book. Shawn Anchor literally is one of the greatest guys on this earth! I appreciate everything he is doing in this world! This book is a game changer. It is a 5 star for sure!!

Great Read. The author is able to give real life examples of how happiness breeds success

The Happiness Advantage. I was always criticized for being "the nice guy". This book re-enforces that I was never on the wrong track. Some fine tuning here and there and a clearer understanding of what to do, all come out of the 7 principles outlined in this book. Would recommend this book to anyone who wants to just lead a happier and healthier life.

A very powerful book. I found Shaun Achor through his TED talk, and the things he said resonated with my own experiences. So I bought his book, and I'm glad I did; the techniques contained within have proven invaluable already, and I'm only using one or two of them. About the only critique I can make is that the book is seriously wont of a summarizing chapter at the end. I read this page by page on my morning commute, and by the time I'd reached the end, I felt that a review of the exercises would be useful. I'll be buying this book for my family members.
