The Happiness Advantage: The Seven Principles of Positive Psychology That Fuel Success and Performance at Work

When I was burned out at not sure where to start, I started here!

“The Happiness Advantage” by Shawn Achor is a book that explores the connection between happiness and success.

Achor argues that traditional success models have it backward, as happiness actually leads to success rather than the other way around.

He introduces the concept of the “happiness advantage,” which is the idea that a positive mindset can significantly improve productivity, creativity, and overall performance.

Achor provides scientific evidence and practical strategies to increase happiness. Ultimately, the book encourages readers to prioritize happiness in their lives to unlock their full potential and achieve greater success.

Carly’s Voice: Breaking Through Autism

As a speech pathologist, I cannot emphasize enough how profoundly impactful “Carly’s Voice” is for anyone interested in the field of speech and communication disorders. This remarkable book tells the compelling story of Carly Fleischmann, a nonverbal young woman with autism, who found her voice through innovative methods and breakthroughs in augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) technologies. It provides invaluable insights into the challenges faced by individuals with nonverbal autism and the immense potential for growth and connection when the right strategies are employed. “Carly’s Voice” is not just a heartwarming story; it’s a testament to the power of perseverance, determination, and the incredible potential within all individuals, regardless of their communication abilities.
