Big Potential by Shawn Achor - Books, Broads, & Booze

What this episode covers

Welcome to BB&B! This month join Monica and I as we discuss Big Potential by Shawn Achor. Published in January 2018, hardcover 240 pages. In a world of competition and individual achievement, we are measuring and pursuing potential all wrong. By pursuing success in isolation, we are not only limiting our potential, we are becoming more stressed and disconnected than ever. Listen to Monica and I as we discuss how happiness is contagious and how human potential is influenced by those around us.
