Success AND Happiness

There is a common misperception concerning the relationship between happiness and success. Much research illustrates that contrary to what most people think, success does not lead to lasting happiness. The opposite, in fact, is the case: happiness leads to success. When we increase our positive experiences, we enjoy a whole range of benefits, including increased motivation, better relationships, enhanced creativity, and more. By raising our levels of well-being we can enjoy more success in our personal lives and in our organizations.
