InteresTED – The Happy Secret to Better Work

Psychologists have long challenged the premise that hard work and success brings one happiness. Although some may truly love what they do for a living, many of us however do it for a paycheck. The idea that one should work harder in order to be happier, is backwards thinking according to Psychologist, Shawn Achor. So, how can we motivate behavior to increase work productivity?
