Before Happiness
The 5 Hidden Keys to Achieving Success, Spreading Happiness, and Sustaining Positive Change
Editorial Review
The consistent ability to create this kind of reality is called positive genius. The reason some people see the world so differently from others is that the human brain doesn’t just take a picture of the external world like a camera; it is constantly interpreting and processing the information it receives. Every time the world provides us with information, our brains expend energy creating our understanding of this information. The human brain inevitably chooses what information to process and attend to, and what to dismiss or ignore. Thus, your reality is a choice; what you choose to focus on shapes how you perceive and interpret your world. The better your brain is at using its energy to focus on the positives, the greater your chances at success. To create a real, long-lasting, and sustainable change, we need to fundamentally change our reality—the entire lens through which we view our world. Only when we choose to believe that we live in a world where challenges can be overcome, our behavior matters, and change is possible can we summon all our energy, and emotional and intellectual resources to make that change happen.
