Can Money Buy Happiness?

CAN MONEY BUY HAPPINESS?

In studying resilience and the sweet uses of adversity, and listening to coaching clients, I discover the same things over and over again. After a given point in time, the person acknowledges that a lot of good things have come from their adversities.

Mind you it isnt a guarantee that youll reach this resolution, but many people do end up being not only what they call better people, but also happier by their self-report and by my observations.

There's an interesting study done by Ronnie Janoff-Bulman, PhD, a psychologist at the University of Massachusetts. He compares the well-being of lottery winners versus people who had become suddenly paralyzed.

The results of the study were that after the initial high was over for the lottery winners, they were no happier than the accident victims.

Competitive Intelligence

COMPETITIVE INTELLIGENCE ... that's what Emotional Intelligence is.

It's not good enough these days to be top in your field as far as skills, expertise and credentials. There are too many people just like you with the same resume. Also you don't get to sit in your office these days and do work. You have to make your way through a maze of people, jump across the generation gap, deal with people from many different cultures, get the gender bias unbiased, get information from many different people, and work as a team.

Teams involve emotions because they involve egos. Also because you have to engage, influence and motivate a host of people to get one simple thing done. Right?

Let's face it, it's much easier to produce work alone, it's just that it won't work any more. You are expected to know how to "get along."

What on earth does that mean? It means competitive intelligence, or emotional intelligence. This isn't touchy-feely stuff, it's about your paycheck, your promotions and your career future.
