About this listen

We are all broadcasters. And the messages we choose to broadcast predict our success.

All of us constantly broadcast information to others, even when we don't say a word. Sales professionals broadcast to potential clients in a way that wins new business. Managers broadcast to their teams about projects. Colleagues broadcast to one another about available resources. The messages we choose to broadcast shape others' beliefs in the potential for success and their ability to create positive change.

Working as a CBS news anchor, Michelle Gielan saw how nonstop coverage of the 2009 recession left many viewers feeling paralyzed. She had an idea: a new interview series focused on positive psychology and creating happiness in the face of tragedy. "Happy Week” generated the greatest viewer response of the year.

In Broadcasting Happiness, Gielan shows us how our words can move people from fear-based mind-sets to positive mind-sets. Using scientifically proven communication strategies, we have the ability to increase others' happiness and success at work as well as our own, instantly making us more effective leaders.

Learn the seven keys of communicating more effectively to influence others and drive measurable results. Gielan, a happiness researcher and expert on positive communication, will teach you how to:

  • Inoculate your brain against stress and negativity by fact checking challenges
  • Drive success by leading a conversation or communication with positivity
  • Rewrite debilitating thought patterns and turn them into fuel for resilience and growth
  • Deal with negative people in a way that lessens their power
  • Share bad news more effectively to increase future social capital
  • Create and sustain a positive culture at work by creating contagious optimism

I think this was a fantastic book, however, somehow it doesn't capture the great idea that I think this book could have been. The concepts are fantastic the concepts are fantastic, along with the ideas. Somehow I struggled with the way that the story was delivered.

Great book.

A little preachy at the end for journalists but otherwise excellent with many good examples of how to apply.

Practical based on examples and studies

A lot of good stuff here, despite coming from a journalist (ha ha). I enjoyed listening and applied much of what I learned to my own miserable little life.

Pretty Good

I was surprised at the research results for positive stories going viral- from my common person eye, I would assume the opposite since many news stations still seemingly thrive on the shock factor of tragedy--

Three cheers for positivity!

I thought this book was ok. I recently read the happiness advantage by Shawn Anchor it was amazing. a you find out in the book his wife wrote this book. This book was defiantly alot like it but not as good. I felt like I read the happiness advantage but from a different point of view. Over all I give it a 3.5 .

This book is the happiness advantage redone.
