197. The positive formula for success, featuring Shawn Achor

You know those days where it feels like an avalanche of tough moments piles up, creating the worst day ever? As rotten as those days feel, there’s actually a formula to turn problems into  successes—even on those so-called horrible days.    It’s the power of a positive mindset.    Today, happiness expert Shawn Achor explains how the lens you use to view the world changes how you process it, and if you approach it in a new way, you can greatly affect not only your own health and well-being, but those around you—especially your kids.   And if you like this episode, stay tuned for Part 2 with Shawn Achor next week!   Watch the full clip here.
