After spending twelve years at Harvard University, Shawn Achor has become one of the world’s leading experts on the connection between happiness and success. His research on mindset made the cover of Harvard Business Review, his TED Talk is one of the most popular of all time with over 32.7 million views, and his lecture airing on PBS has been seen by millions.
Shawn has worked with over a third of the Fortune 100 companies, as well as the NFL, the NBA, the Pentagon, and the White House. He is the author of the New York Times best-selling books The Happiness Advantage (2010) and Big Potential (2018) and the immensely popular parable The Orange Frog. He has lectured in over 50 countries, speaking to CEOs in China, doctors in Dubai, schoolchildren in South Africa, and farmers in Zimbabwe.
His research has been published in the top psychology journal for work he did at UBS in partnership with Yale University to transform how stress impacts the body, and he did a two-hour interview with Oprah at her house to discuss his mission to bring positive psychology to the world.
