The Happiness Advantage

I love the book "The Happiness Advantage" by Shawn Achor which I first discovered and read in July 2019. This book was part of my personal development "plan" (at the time, it was just reading interesting books, and has since evolved to a loosely structured self improvement / perpetual learning plan - it's amazing how much you can learn from books!) and influenced my thinking about positive psychology and "how you think affects how you feel." I find it so interesting that so many books, speakers and seemingly different ideas are all interconnected to this idea of "how you think affects how you feel," i.e. modern Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and the Stoic philosophy of "Dichotomy of Control" - what is in your control and what is not in your control, and more.
