Question

3．"Happiness Advantage"Effect
In July 2010Burt's Bees，a personal-care products company，was going through enormous change as it began a global expansion into 19new countries．In this kind of high-pressure situation，many leaders bother their assistants with frequent meetings or flood their in-boxes with urgent demands．In doing so，managers lift everyone's anxiety level，which activates the part of the brain that processes threats and steals resources from the prefrontal cortex （ 大脑皮层），which is responsible for effective problem solving．
Burt's Bees's then-CEO，John Wolfgang，took a different approach．Each day，he'd send out an e-mail praising a team member for work related to global marketing．He'd interrupt his own presentations to remind his managers to talk with their teams about the company's values．He asked me to further a three-hour session with employees on happiness in the course of the expansion effort．
As one member of the senior team told me a year later，Wolfgang's emphasis on developing positive leadership kept his managers actively involved and loyal as they successfully transformed the company into a global one．
That outcome shouldn't surprise us．Research shows that when people work with a positive mind-set （思维模式），performance on nearly every level-productivity，creativity，involvement-improves．Yet happiness is perhaps the most misunderstood driver of performance．For one，mostpeople believe that success comes before happiness．"Once I get a promotion，I'll be happy，"they think．Or，"Once I hit my sales target，I'll feel great．"But because success is a moving target-as soon as you hit your target，you raise it again-the happiness that results from success does not last long．
In fact，it works the other way around：People who have a positive mind-set perform better in the face of challenge．I call this the"happiness advantage"-every business outcome shows improvement when the brain is positive．I've observed this effect in my role as a researcher and lecturer in 48countries on the connection between employee happiness and success．And I'm not alone：In an analysis of 225academic studies，researchers found strong evidence of cause-and-effect relationship between life satisfaction and successful business outcomes． Another common misunderstanding is that our genetics，our environment，or a combination of the two determines how happy we are．To be sure，both factors have an impact．But one's general sense of well-being is surprisingly unstable．The habits you form，the way you interact with colleagues，how you think about stress-all these can be managed to increase your happiness and  your chances of success．ccess．
