Acerca de esta escucha

A leading expert on health psychology, well-being, and resilience argues that happiness is the key to fast tracking our professional and personal success.

Everyone wants to be happy and successful. And yet the pursuit of both has never been more elusive. As work and personal demands rise, we try to keep up by juggling everything better, moving faster, and doing more. While we might succeed in the short term, it comes at a cost to our well-being, our relationships, and, paradoxically, our productivity.

In The Happiness Track, Emma Seppala, the science director of the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education at Stanford University, explains that our inability to achieve sustainable fulfillment is tied to common but outdated notions about success. We are taught that getting ahead means doing everything that's thrown at us (and then some) with razor-sharp focus and iron discipline; that success depends on our drive and talents; and that achievement cannot happen without stress.

The Happiness Track demolishes these counterproductive theories. Drawing on the latest findings from the fields of cognitive psychology and neuroscience - research on happiness, resilience, willpower, compassion, positive stress, creativity, and mindfulness - Seppala shows that finding happiness and fulfillment may, in fact, be the most productive thing we can do to thrive professionally. Filled with practical advice on how to apply these scientific findings to our daily lives, The Happiness Track is a life-changing guide to fast tracking our success and creating the anxiety-free lives we want.

I have been an overachiever and also have been suffering from extreme and debilitating anxiety and depression for last decade.

Loved it a lot. Used to be a person who would dismiss many such books earlier. The author of this book happens to have been a student and professor at my college, so I couldn't dismiss it by thinking --- oh easy to say, she doesn't know what it takes to aim high to achieve greatly and be a part of such overachieving networks it gives you anxiety and depression all the time.

Very well researched and data backed. And I could connect the dots of what she said, and what a 5 year practitioner of Vipassana had said to me (calming body through breath, because even anger can be felt in the body first before the mind).

Highly recommend to feel better about oneself and this book can persuade you scientifically to start a 15min daily breathing practice.

And if you've begun to lose the strength to live anymore, it may give you back some strength as it did for me, and some answers too

Must read -- quick and persuasive

This book has a lot of useful information that one can use in a daily basis. The most helpful knowledge that I got from this book was the demystification of the hustle culture. How the pursuit of wealth can be harmful to us and get in the way of a most important goal which is the pursuit of happiness.
I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to have a balanced lifestyle in a world full of harmful ideals.

Great overall book reviewing the broader strokes of positive psychology. EXCEPT the way the author presents chapter 5, she appears to not understand the difference between Clifton's strengths and Dweck's mindset. The author really does seem to mean a fixed mindset when she writes about the associated dangers, but used the word "strengths" instead of trait or ability. This makes chapter 5 a pretty dangerous misdirection. If you have studied and get the difference, then you'll probably enjoy the rest.

Refreshing in a seeming business environment of success or die. The book was an intellectual retreat every business professional should take periodically to touch their humanity.

Well Done

The title of this book is slightly misleading - the contents are much more nuanced and less mainstream pop-Psychology focused than the title would suggest. Contained within these pages are astute messages regarding the epidemics of frustration, anxiety, disconnection, frenzied behavior, lethargy, dissatisfaction, and much more which plague our societal zeitgeist, and adroit solutions stemming from genuine connection, motivation to improve and appreciate ourselves, others, and surroundings, gratitude, empathy, and giving behavior, to help us make inroads into overcoming these bio-psycho-social maladies for the betterment of all.

A Broadly Applicable, Insightful, and Inspiring Masterpiece

Where does The Happiness Track rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Near the top for this category.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Examples range from CEO's, Nobel prize winners, congressman, and humanitarians. Stories involving military veterans are particularly engrossing.

What does Nan McNamara bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She has an authoritative voice, that adds concreteness to the scientific nature of the text, but also fits naturally with the lighter and more entertaining parts.

What did you learn from The Happiness Track that you would use in your daily life?

Where to start, each chapter has practical tips and suggestions for living a more happy and successful life. Overall, the idea that success comes from happiness and not the other way around was profound. Also, that sacrificing short term happiness for perceived long-term success, is an endless unfulfilling cycle. This book gives you a way out of that cycle to enjoy what you have now.

Any additional comments?

This book is for anyone who consistently says there aren't enough hours in the day, anyone who is pursuing or in high-stress jobs or industries, consulting, investment banking, military etc. Honestly, everyone who reads this is likely to benefit and discover a happier and more successful way of life, and everyone should!

Thought Provoking, Scientific and Relevant!
