Loading ...What are you waiting for? Don’t wait until you’ve got a new car, a new job or some new romance in your life to feel happy. Get happy first, and it’s actually more likely that those things will come to you. So says UTS Adjunct Professor Timothy Sharp, aka Dr Happy in this Business21C Weekly. Also joining us in the studio is Senior Lecturer Tyrone Pitsis, award-winning researcher in the arena of positive psychology.
Happiness isn’t just good for the soul. It’s good for business. We ask what makes people work harder, longer and better? Meaning in their work, says Pitsis. Research across disciplines, from organisational theory to neuroscience backs it up. We chat through what makes happier workplaces more financially efficient, why people who find community in the workplace are in a better position to give of themselves, and how managers and workers themselves can create an environment for productive, meaningful, happy workplaces.
To hear more about the psychology of happiness – and why it’s good for you and good for your business – register for our next Business21C conversation at the Sydney Opera House on July 15 here.
