The other day I came across a workbook from a seminar (in 2009) a friend of mine attended. The speakers were Shawn Achor and Elizabeth Peterson, both with a company called Aspirant, an applied research consulting firm using psychology to foster positive and productive lives. The seminar was focused on the results of Positive thinking.
My friend lent me the handbook, I read through it, enthralled, then tucked it away in a drawer to collect dust. What a tragedy. I’m happy I was in a cleaning mode and uncovered this beauty!
