Why I did it: Actually, I love TEDx, specially a site
for personal self growth. Sometimes these talks can
be very long and I may not have the time to listen or
that after I listen I want to print out a set of

I am hoping that this summary resource will be

readers in your journey of self growth.

Introduction
When I was seven years old and my sister was just
five years old, we were playing on top of a bunk bed.
I was two years older than my sister at the time -- I
mean, I'm two years older than her now -- but at the
time it meant she had to do everything that I wanted
to do, and I wanted to play war.
There are differing accounts of what actually
happened that afternoon, but since my sister is not
here with us today, let me tell you the true story .
Clumsy side…
Which is my sister's a little on the clumsy side. Somehow, without any help or push from her
older brother at all, Amy disappeared off of the top of the bunk bed and landed with this
crash on the floor. I nervously peered over the side of the bed to see what had befallen my
fallen sister and saw that she had landed painfully on her hands and knees on all fours on the
ground.
I was nervous because my parents had charged me with making sure that my sister and
I played as safely and as quietly as possible. And seeing as how I had accidentally broken
Amy's arm just one week before.
Trying as hard as I could…
Heroically pushing her out of the way of an oncoming imaginary sniper bullet, for which I
have yet to be thanked, I was trying as hard as I could -- she didn't even see it coming -- I was
trying hard to be on my best behavior.
And I saw my sister's face, this wail of pain and suffering and surprise threatening to erupt
from her mouth and wake my parents from the long winter's nap for which they had
settled. So I did the only thingmy frantic seven year-old brain could think to do to avert this
tragedy. And if you have children, you've seen this hundreds of times. I said, "Amy, wait. Don't
cry. Did you see how you landed? No human lands on all fours like that. Amy, I think this
means you're a unicorn.”
Studying people….
When studying people, we tend to look for excuses to discard ‘outliers’, and focus only on the
average to find a line of best fit. This is the cult of the average – we look only at the baseline.
Instead we should look more at the positive outliers: what makes them different? If we study
outliers, we can move the ‘average’ upwards.
Positive psychology…
Shawn is an advocate of ‘positive psychology’: studying the positive side rather than focusing on
the negative. For example studying happy people on why they are happy, rather than on how to
make depressed people happier. “The absence of disease is not health”: you can’t talk about
wellness by only focussing on alcoholism, risky sex, bullying.
Happiness levels…
Looking at someone’s surroundings only explains 10% of their happiness levels. 90% is based
on how your brain sees the world around it. Only 25% of job performance is based on
intelligence, with 75% based on support networks, positivity, and ability to perceive stress as a
challenge.
People believe that…
Currently most people believe that if they are successful they will become happy. This is
flawed because:
1. When you achieve success, you immediately shift the goal posts further. If you get good
grades, you need to get better grades next time. So you will never achieve success and always
push it over the horizon into the future.
2. Happiness makes someone more successful. “The Happiness Advantage” means you are
better at getting a job, 31% more productive, more resilient.
In 21 days you can rewire your brain to see things more positively. Shawn suggests writing
down 3 things you are grateful for, perform random acts of kindness, meditate to clear your
mind.
Success“When you want something, all the
universe conspires in helping you to
achieve it.” ― Paulo Coelho,

are committed to your own success. I'm ready to add massive value to your success as
long as you promise to take action after reading my book.
