The study offered hard evidence that we tend to get happiness wrong. Individuals who frequently experience positive emotions aren't just more sociable, optimistic and creative. They also accomplish more. These people bring an infectious energy to their environment, proving more likely to enjoy fulfilling relationships, get higher salaries and truly shine in their professional lives. Those who cultivate positive emotions at work morph into better problem-solvers, planners, creative thinkers and resilient go-getters. They're less stressed, attract higher evaluations from their superiors and show a higher degree of loyalty to their organisations. Feeling Good: Boosts Your Energy Reduces Your Stress Enriches Your Life Success doesn't lead to feeling good. Feeling good leads to success. Put simply: success doesn't lead to feeling good. Feeling good leads to success. HOW TO USE THIS BOOK Back in that first harrowing year as a doctor, most of these discoveries were still years ahead of me. I was working endless shifts and trying to shoehorn my productivity research into the fleeting breaks between visiting patients. But even the basic insights I uncovered were enough to cause a dramatic change in my relationship with work. When I started to let go of my obsessions with discipline and focus instead on making work feel good, my horrific shifts started to get easier. Soon my mood started to improve too. I remember one appointment with an elderly patient a few months after I discovered feel-good productivity. 'You know, doctor,' she said, 'you're the first one in here who's smiled all week.'
