YouTube

In preparing for an upcoming public workshop on employee engagement, I was
excited to come across a video of Barbara Frederickson talking about the
focus of her new book "Positivity" on YouTube. One of her sound bytes stuck
with me all day today. She said: "The message in my book is timely, because
we are facing enormous challenges in this country, and President Obama has
urged us to choose hope over fear, and my research underscores why this is
such a vital choice for us,  I have been able to show that fear closes down
our minds and our hearts, whereas  positive emotions literally open our
minds and hearts.  We're going to need that openness if we are going to face
the challenges with clear eyes and come up with the creative solutions that
allow us to come through this difficulty even stronger than before."
