Today I am really excited because I have a truly special guest joining us: Shawn Achor.

Shawn is one of the world’s leading experts on the connection between happiness and success. His research on mindset made the cover of the Harvard Business Review. He’s lectured or worked with nearly half of the Fortune 500 companies, as well as NASA, the NFL, the NBA, the Pentagon, and the White House. Shawn’s mission is to bring popular psychology to the wider world. His TED talk was one of the most powerful and popular of all time with nearly 25 million views.

He is the author of several books, two of them New York Times bestselling books, The Happiness Advantage and The Big Potential.
