Dr Tal Ben-Shahar not only ran the largest and most popular course in the prestigious Harvard University’s history, but he has also shared his message that “Happiness Pays” with leaders and teams from massive blue-chip organisations and Fortune 500 companies around the world.
We talk:
- Concerns with the “Self-Help” movement
- The scientific method
- Workplace stress and burnout because we believe success = happiness
- and more.
His “Positive Psychology” program is not just a nice idea with a catchy name, but a scientifically backed process and offering.
