Careers, Jobs, Small Business Seminars, Career Services, Job Searching & Resume Writing: How Behavioral Science Can Help Us Have a Good Day
Whether we have a good day or not depends partly on things we can’t control – perhaps there’s a crisis at work or our colleagues are cranky today. But behavioral science shows us that many things that seem “fixed” or “random” can be surprisingly strongly influenced by our own actions, once we understand just a little of how the brain works. Caroline Webb demonstrates how tiny tweaks to our daily routines can transform our experience of what happens around us, the number of hours in the day, our level of intelligence, and even other people’s moods. With this kind of powerful insight in your back pocket, you can change your “luck” and put many more good days within reach no matter if we are involved in a job search or in office politics.
