“The United Nations measure that you just reported on has a number of different factors but the simplest way is to measure people based on their own self-report of their subjective well-being. That’s really just asking people: ‘how happy do you feel?’ Paul’s 20 years as a corporate senior leader and his own driven approach to life goals and lifestyle inspired his best-selling book ‘Whole Person Happiness: How to be Well in Body, Mind, and Spirit’.”

“As we do more and more of the same thing, our brains get stronger and stronger at doing them. Now the reason why I’ve told you all this, is because if we can automate positive emotions into our lives, then we get that success that I talked about earlier. If we can lay down enough good neural pathways so that happiness comes more readily to us, then we will simply be happy more automatically. Does it make sense? Right! I say you shut up! I’m about to shoot… he went in my case, I should really pass, but nevertheless, I would be unhappy if somebody interrupted me while I’m in that state of flow.”

“I’m always my own laboratory. So, as soon as I read that four or five years ago, I started doing it of course and I started recording three things that went well and at first, I was a bit embarrassed. I couldn’t come up with three things. I couldn’t believe it! Why can’t I think of three things? And I didn’t want to write down lame things. I didn’t want to say, ‘oh, you know, I have no holes in my sock’, that wasn’t good enough.”

“We don’t get tons of learning from positive things, it’s the negative stuff we got a ton of learning from. So, scientists have contemplated this question of how much positivity do we need to offset our negativity? Can you see how quickly this turned around? How impactful this was? Could you imagine in your own workplaces if you could have a 90% reduction in unsafe behavior simply by changing the conversation, changing what’s going on in people’s hearts and minds about the work? They just continued the processes, the job safety procedures, very much like they had done before, but now they felt differently about the work.”
