Big potential : how transforming the pursuit of success raises our achievement, happiness, and well-being / by Achor, Shawn,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."The bestselling author of The Happiness Advantage reveals why our potential is not limited by what we on our own can achieve; rather, our success is amplified by the successes of those around us. He offers five strategies for exponentially raising our achievement and performance by helping others--colleagues, teams, and employees--be better.
