How to Apply the Science of Happiness to Accelerate Your Success
Everyone seeks happiness and success, yet achieving both has become increasingly difficult. As demands in work and personal life rise, we often try to cope by multitasking and pushing ourselves harder. While this may yield short-term results, it ultimately harms our well-being, relationships, and even productivity. Emma Seppälä explains that our burnout stems from outdated success theories, which suggest that relentless focus and discipline are essential for achievement and that stress is unavoidable. This book challenges these notions, presenting evidence that happiness is key to productivity and thriving in both work and home life. Drawing on recent scientific research in areas such as resilience, willpower, and mindfulness, Seppälä offers practical strategies to integrate these findings into everyday life. A fulfilling, successful, and anxiety-free existence is attainable, and this book provides the guidance needed to achieve it. Experts highlight the book's insights, emphasizing that reconfiguring our approach to happiness can transform our lives and careers. With research-backed strategies, it encourages us to thrive professionally while remaining authentic and enjoying the journey. Ultimately, it offers a science-based pathway to sustainable success that fosters fulfillment and well-being.
Immer besser, schneller und effizienter macht uns nicht glücklich. Umgekehrt, indem wir einen Gang herunterschalten, uns Zeit für uns selbst nehmen, sind wir leistungsfähiger. Wir erreichen mehr durch weniger tun. Die Stanford-Professorin Dr. Emma Seppälä zieht Erkenntnisse der Neurowissenschaften, Psychologie, Resilienz- und Achtsamkeitsforschung sowie ihre eigenen Untersuchungen heran, um zu erklären, woraus persönlicher und beruflicher Erfolg gemacht ist. In diesem praktischen und eingängigen Ratgeber zeigt sie sechs wissenschaftlich nachgewiesene Wege zu mehr Wohlbefinden und Erfolg im Leben auf.
