by Joshua Freedman, Massimiliano Ghini, MBA
Many times the books on leadership focused on systems, management, etc., not taking into account the complex (and powerful!) system of our emotions. Josh Freedman integrate much of the new neuroscience with a comprehensive look and analysis of how people can make successful change by honoring the people involved, integrating emotional intelligence skills, in conjunction with keen business sense.
There is so much to offer in this book, it is like reading an"Operational Manual" in each chapter. This is a must read for those who are looking for ways to change, starting from the inside!

The above video is the results of a team of educators ,versed in an experiential approach to learning that's both joyful and meaningful, wanted to be sure their organization maintained a commitment to distilling big ideas into bite-sized pieces.
The research says it takes around six seconds for those molecules of emotion to get absorbed back into your body after you've had a reaction. For someone to recognize the feeling of compassion -- and it was around six seconds. Thus, Joshua Freedman's organization was named "Six Seconds"
It takes six seconds to manage anger.
There is science behind the name and the flood that is triggered, delivered, and absorbed in about six seconds of even emotion.

Are you confused or curious about what Positive Psychology is and how it can be helpful to you?
It is time to step back and look at where this emerging field is at and where it is going. Chris Peterson, author of A Primer in Positive Psychology (2006) does that in the May 2008 Psychology Today Blog.

Peterson states that Positive Psychology is the scientific study of what makes life most worth living. This does not imply that you should ignore or dismiss real problems that you might be experiencing, i.e., losing your job, relationship problems, etc. It is not a recycled version of the power of positive thinking or a sequel to the secret. Also, it is not to be confused with untested self-help ideas as some critics have claimed.<p> Article to continue below----------------------------------------------
