MASTER THE BELIEFS THAT DRIVE SUCCESS.

Each of us has a lens through which we see the world, crafted by every experience we’ve ever had, composed of our conscious and unconscious beliefs. This lens holds remarkable predictive power over our outcomes in work and life, yet we often remain unaware of how much it shapes our choices and the potential we have to change it—and our lives—for the better.

In The Power of Beliefs, Shawn Achor draws from his groundbreaking work in fifty countries over twenty years to introduce a critical set of tools: the seven Core Power Beliefs:

1. My Behavior Matters
2. I Matter
3. I Am Not Alone
4. This Work is Meaningful
5. I Have Things To Be Grateful for in the Present
6. I Have Something to Give
7. There Is Something Greater Than Me

The extent to which we embrace these beliefs is the strongest indicator of positive outcomes across all aspects of our lives. Using fascinating examples from his own research and the cutting-edge work of others, Achor illustrates just how powerful our beliefs can be. He guides us through the often challenging process of changing our beliefs to transform our lens, which can reveal a world of possibilities previously unseen. The benefits extend beyond ourselves; once we understand that change is possible, the next step is to help strengthen the beliefs and trajectories of our family, friends, coworkers, and the world around us.
