Here is a chapter-wise bullet-point gist of The Happiness Advantage by Shawn Achor (very concise):
Introduction – Positive Psychology at Work
-
Happiness fuels success, not the other way around.
-
Positive brains perform better in every domain.
Chapter 1 — The Happiness Advantage
-
Positive mindset improves productivity, creativity, and resilience.
-
Happiness activates a “success multiplier.”
Chapter 2 — The Fulcrum and the Lever
-
How you think about reality shapes your ability to change it.
-
Shifting mindset (the fulcrum) increases power and performance (the lever).
Chapter 3 — The Tetris Effect
-
We train our brains to scan for patterns; choose to scan for positives.
-
Practicing gratitude rewires the brain to notice opportunities.
Chapter 4 — Falling Up
-
Adversity can build stronger paths forward.
-
Use failure as a launching pad rather than a setback.
Chapter 5 — The Zorro Circle
-
Control expands when we start small.
-
Master small, manageable circles first, then widen them.
Chapter 6 — The 20-Second Rule
-
Willpower is limited; reduce friction for good habits, increase friction for bad ones.
-
Small barrier changes shift long-term behaviors.
Chapter 7 — Social Investment
-
Strong social connections are the greatest predictor of happiness and success.
-
Invest in relationships, especially during stress.
