Staying Positive in a Negative World

As a huge fan of positive psychology, it’s unusual to hear Beverly Lewis focusing on negativity. The need for practical ways to cast fresh vision and create a map for the days ahead necessitates the cultivation of positivity. The negativity bias doesn’t help at all.

In this episode, Beverly defines negativity bias and explains what it is and how it can sabotage us. You'll hear research from the field of positive psychology that builds a solid case for developing intentional strategies to shore up positivity and increase your level of happiness. This is critically important for leaders, since happiness is contagious! And it's proven that happy employees do a better job. And those who do a good job are happier - creating an upward cycle that will benefit any team or organization. 

Five specific strategies are discussed as action points for creating a more positive mindset and offsetting negativity bias.

When you pursue happiness, you aren’t denying the pain that’s in the world. You are refusing to let it get the best of you.
