What your body knows about happiness : how to use your body to change your mind / by Kaplan, Janice, ,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."In school, we're taught that the central nervous system, including the brain, is the big computer telling our bodies how to respond to a trigger. But there's a growing body of research proving that in fact the system often works in reverse, that it's our body programming the brain by acting without being told what to do. For example, the act of smiling can improve your mood. Or when you pass a dark alley and your body tenses and your heart starts pounding, your cardiovascular system is sending a message to your brain to be scared. In this book, Janice Kaplan, the New York Times bestselling author of The Gratitude Diaries, will explore the mind-body connection and show that our feeling bodies are often smarter than our thinking minds, by weaving together new scientific research from experts from around the globe and from various disciplines, including psychologists, neuroscientists, and environments. And she'll provide tips and strategies for discovering this vital mind-body connection so they can work together to make you happier"--

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. For decades, we have thought about potential as being a constellation of individual traits: your creativity, your abilities, your intelligence. But new research shows that this version of potential--what Achor calls Small Potential--is deeply flawed, and places a ceiling on the level of success we can achieve. Because we now know that all these traits are in fact interconnected, and that by pursuing success individually, we have been leaving much of our potential untapped. Big Potential works not in isolation, but rather as part of an ecosystem. So when we help those around us succeed, we not only raise the performance of the group, but we also create a virtuous cycle by which we in turn become more successful ourselves. Drawing on cutting-edge original research as well as his work with executives, educators, and leaders around the globe, Achor shows how we can all lift the ceiling on our potential by helping others realize theirs"--
