Shawn Achor: The happy secret to better work

The video started of pretty boring, i anticipated it to be boring throughout the entire 12 minutes. However, i was surprised as Mr Achor has some really awesome comedic timing. He told jokes so effortlessly. He really cracked me up when he talked about the incident with his sister. He later went on to talk more about happiness. He lost me a few times throughout his talk as i was distracted from laughing and also because he spoke very fast. To be terribly honest i didnt really catch all that he meant to say. But i think i want to give him credit for making me laugh and whilst he was talking about happiness and how to be happy. I think making me laugh achieved the main point of this ted talk. HAHAHA. Throughout his talk he went through a lot of interesting pointers about how beneficial happiness can be to people. I don't remember most of what he said as his talk was pretty face paced. But i like how he managed to link happiness to productivity and how being happy improves productivity. I dont think ive ever laughed out loud at an ted talk video ever. His story of how he distracted his sister from the pain of falling off the bed was hilarious! I think it really showed how ignoring the things around you can convincing yourself that everything is alright, in turn makes you happier and leads to better outlooks on different outcomes.
