Positive Intelligence by Shawn Achor Happiness breeds success (not the other way around), and this article shows how remarkably easy and quick it is to cultivate a positive mind-set. What can you do to make yourself happier? Count your blessings; help other people; look on the bright side of stress. Sixty years after the publication of The Power of Positive Thinking, research confirms that Norman Vincent Peale was right all along. Read the full article » ALSO POPULAR The Science Behind the Smile by Daniel Gilbert What makes us happy? Summing up a wealth of neuroscience and behavioral research, this Harvard psychology professor cuts to the chase in this interview: Happiness is the sum of hundreds of small things, not a few big joys. The Economics of Well-Being by Justin Fox When we compare countries by GDP we're using money as the sole measure of national success. But GDP can't distinguish between productive and destructive economic activity. New indices that include broader indicators like educational achievement and life expectancy, and better ways to visualize the data, can give us more meaningful yardsticks. Candor, Criticism, Teamwork by Keith Ferrazzi Take a page from Star Wars, this training consultant argues in one of this issue's columns. The best-performing teams are straight with one another, and one way to keep them honest is to designate someone to be a Yoda-that is, a wise soul who speaks up when something's been left unsaid.
