Luiz Gaziri sought the answer reading through thousands of scientific papers and visiting some of the most renowned scientists in the world, in universities such as Harvard, Stanford and New York University. He found that most of our motivation and happiness depends exclusively on our choices. However, because we're frequently guided by intuition, motivational speeches and common sense, most decisions are made based on mistaken principles, yielding results that are rarely the best for our interests. Now, we'll see what science has to say about many of the myths we believe in. This book explores beliefs such as: money brings happiness; recognition is what motivates people; and positive thinking is the key to reaching life goals. These are replaced with: how you use your money is more important than how much you earn; the power of recognition doesn't work quite like people think; and positive thinking surprisingly reduces your chances of reaching your goals. Happy Choices will turn your understanding of happiness and motivation upside-down, revealing how some of the concepts you hold dear can actually be the bad guys in your life. Here, you'll find the tools to make the right choices.
