"The research is clear: Your mindset is one of the greatest predictors of your success and well-being. With practical strategies and stories, Catherine Sanderson shows you how to apply this research at work, with your family, and in your own life." --Shawn Achor, New York Times bestselling author of Before Happiness and The Happiness Advantage "A smart and engaging exploration of the science of happiness and how we can use it on our own lives." --Daniel Gilbert, author of Stumbling on Happiness and professor of psychology at Harvard University "As someone who in the past has suffered from anxiety and depression, I only wish this book had been available in those dark days . . . Professor Sanderson shares in her warm and conversational voice what really makes a difference to our mental health, from using money to save time, to planning a trip (even better than going on one), and why we should give gifts to everyone . . . Above all, this is a book that gives hope. We can change our mindset, and in doing so we really can become happier, healthier, and even live longer. Here's to making The Positive Shift. " --Rachel Kelly, bestselling author of Walking on Sunshine: 52 Small Steps to Happiness " The Positive Shift offers a rare and valuable combination by offering deeply practical advice about what can seem an impossibly abstract problem: How can we use our big brains to increase our well-being?" --Michael Norton, professor at Harvard Business School and coauthor of Happy Money "Everyone seeking to live a long and successful life needs The Positive Shift ! Catherine Sanderson's mantra that our mindsets have powerful influences on our performance--good and bad--gives us an incredible set of tools to make important changes at any stage of life. " --Marc E. Agronin, MD, author of The End of Old Age: Living a Longer, More Purposeful Life "Dr. Catherine Sanderson, nationally recognized as a fabulous teacher, researcher, corporate speaker and consultant, has gifted us with a goldmine of information to reduce stress and improve our life. Using only empirically significant research findings, case histories, personal anecdotes and foibles, and self-quizzes, Professor Sanderson provides clear and compelling take-home instructions for adopting a positive mindset. Her warm and accessible writing style will definitely enable you to become happier, healthier, wiser and live longer." --Dr. James B. Maas, Weiss Presidential Fellow and former Professor and Chair of Psychology at Cornell University and CEO of Sleep for Success " The Positive Shift is a lucid work, drawing upon the latest scientific findings, that will enable readers to enhance their health and well-being in daily life. I especially liked Dr. Sanderson's ability to weave events from her own life into this tapestry designed to help others." --Edward Hoffman, PhD, author of Paths to Happiness: 50 Ways to Add Joy to Your Life Every Day

Synopsis
Psychology expert and professor lays out the significant difference we can really make in our daily lives simply by adjusting our outlook., It's the reason why spending time on Facebook makes us feel sad and lonely. Why expensive name-brand medicines provide better pain relief than the generic stuff, even if they share the same ingredients. And why a hospital room with a good view speeds up recovery from surgery. The truth is, the way we think about ourselves and the world around us dramatically impacts our happiness, health, how fast or slow we age, and even how long we live. In fact, people with a positive mindset about ageing live on average 7.5 years longer than those without. That might sound alarming to those of us who struggle to see the bright side, but the good news is we can make surprisingly simple changes or small shifts to how we think, feel, and act that will really pay off. In The Positive Shift: Mastering Mindset to Improve Happiness, Health, and Longevity , Dr. Catherine Sanderson breaks down the science of thought and shows how our mindset -- or thought pattern -- exerts a substantial influence on our psychological and physical health. Most important, this book demonstrates how, no matter what our natural tendency, with practice we can make minor tweaks in our mindset that will improve the quality -- and longevity -- of our life., It's the reason why spending time on Facebook makes us feel sad and lonely.
