Does Happiness Proceed Success? The Research on a Positive Mindset Changing Your Business & Life with Guest Don Sandel

Confident ROi with Alex Vorobieff

Summary:

This week’s episode of Confident ROi is focused on happiness with insight provided by Don Sandel, creator of the Positive Performance program.

We cover how negativity can spread very quickly amongst groups, and how a common positive mindset between co-workers can dramatically improve business results, including the bottom line.

Don reveals how happiness doesn’t just proceed success, it actually creates accomplishment. We take a look at how being in a positive mindset improves cognitive ability, and how to cultivate this frame of mind with techniques such as meditation.

Finally, we discuss why modern society (and particularly social media) is detrimental to the brain, and why sleep is so crucial in achieving the ability to think positively.
