Most people believe that once they land that long-anticipated promotion, make more money, get their kids into the right schools, lose a few pounds, or find a meaningful relationship, then… they’ll be happy. But based on recent discoveries in the fields of positive psychology and neuroscience, that formula for happiness is wrong. In fact, it’s backwards.

It turns out, happiness actually fuels success, not the other way around. And when we become more positive, our brain becomes more engaged, creative, motivated, energetic, healthier, resilient and productive.

What you’ll learn…

Shawn Achor, Harvard-trained researcher and author of The Happiness Advantage will teach you scientific strategies to retrain your brain. The weekend will focus on rewiring the brain for greater happiness and success.

Research shows people with the Happiness Advantage have become 31% more productive, 19% better decision-makers and 25% better at their jobs.

Learn how to incorporate the exciting new science of positive psychology to:

  • Unlock your brain’s resources - achieve greater success at work and at home
  • Optimize the lens through which you view the world – recognize and seize opportunities more quickly
  • Shift your mindset about stress – use it to enhance your performance instead of impairing it
  • Achieve goals you’ve been putting off for years – use a scientific formula for success
  • Be a more positive, charismatic leader – unleash the power of positive communication
  • Foster happier, more meaningful relationships and raise happier children

Brought to you by The Institute for Applied Positive Research and Good Think Inc.,  The Happiness Advantage retreat will change your life!

A look at where we escaped to in 2012…

In 2012, we held the retreat at Mohonk Mountain House. Mohonk Mountain House is a five-star Victorian castle built on spectacular cliffs above the deep-blue waters of Lake Mohonk, New York. Nestled in a pristine forest with beautiful winding trails, this resort and spa is the ideal destination for a weekend getaway.

For the next retreat, we expect to be heading to a similar, beautiful resort in the US.
