Optimism is foundation to health and well-being. Around the world, corporations, classrooms and communities that thrive, are those that measure highest in terms of happiness and social connection.
Harvard happiness researcher, best-selling author and positive psychology expert Shawn Achor, in his bestselling book The Happiness Advantage, outlines the research based upon hundreds of studies worldwide showing that happiness is one of the greatest competitive advantages you can give a brain, raising creativity, performance and test scores, productive energy, as well as buffering against stress and depression.
The agenda of the Quad Cities Coalition is for everyone to capitalize on this “happiness advantage.”
The good news is that “we all can achieve higher levels of personal and interconnected success by working together. In fact, happiness is contagious.”
