When Executive Coach Marshall Goldsmith asks audiences around the world to complete the following sentence, new era hats one word is overwhelmingly provided:
"When my kids grow new era hats up, I want them to be _______."
Your response?
It was probably "happy."?? No other answer ? successful, wealthy, healthy, well-adjusted, etc ? comes remotely close.? Why is that?? What does it tell us about what we value?
The good news is that it affirms our good judgment.? We get it viscerally that life is brief and precious and that little else matters if we are not happy.? Yet, relatively few of us make a serious commitment to consciously increase our happiness even though it's the core state of being we wish for our loved ones.
What does this have to do with productivity?you might be asking?? Or with time
Let me answer with another question:? All things being equal, are you a better lawyer, a better colleague, a better boss, when you're happier in your life or when you're less happy in your life?
