Welcome to Book Briefs, the show that explores the surprising connection between happiness and success!
For years, we've been told that success leads to happiness. You work hard, get the promotion, buy the house, and then you'll finally be happy.

Join us as we unpack the seven key principles of positive psychology that can unlock your full potential. From the power of positive emotions to the importance of social connection, we'll share practical strategies that can transform your work and your life.
Get ready to rewrite the rules of success, starting with your own happiness.
