Annotated Bibliography Achor, Shawn. "Is Happiness the Secret of Success?" CNN. Cable News Network, 19 Mar. 2012.

Web. 29 Oct. 2013. In his article for CNN called, Is Happiness the Secret of Success, Harvard researcher Shawn Achor justifies his claim that happiness leads to a greater rate of success through his scientific study of people. He first points out that happiness is a choice we make by either looking at the bad or good of a situation. Using the business and education world as his examples, Achor states, that happiness raises nearly every business and educational outcome: raising sales by 37%, productivity by 31%, and accuracy on tasks by 19%, as well as a myriad of health and quality-of-life improvements (Achor,1). He also provides behavioral tips on how to improve your mood in just a few easy steps. I can use this information to help show the correlation between happiness and success. It will also support the information I found in the article from WebMD.

Chang, Louise. "Happiness Comes First, Success Follows." WebMD. WebMD, 19 Dec. 2005. Web. 30 Oct. 2013. In his WebMD article called, Happiness Come First, Success Follows, Dr. Chang uses the results from multiple studies to support his claim that happiness breeds success. The studies he uses are the work of Dr. Sonja Lyubomirsky, whose journal article in the American Psychological Association is another source of mine. Chang used three different studies: Studies that looked at happiness and success across different groups of studies, studies that followed happiness and success over time to answer questions such as, "Does happiness precede

success?", and studies that tested whether certain variables produce success or happiness. He also presented the results of each study which all support the theory that happiness leads to success.

Drexler, Peggy. "Does Success Bring Happiness?" HelloGiggles. N.p., 24 July 2013. Web. 30 Oct. 2013. In the article, Does Success Bring Happiness by Dr. Peggy Drexler, the correlation between happiness and success is tested in women, especially mothers. Drexler compares and contrasts the views of success by men and women of todays working class and that of the future workforce. She points out that women look for a balanced work/home life. When home life is happy, work life is also happy. When work life is not happy, women tend to quit and stay at home because it makes them happy. Women look at success as gratification and validity, rather than the amount of money they receive at the end of the month. Drexler also addresses the probability that men and women will equally want a balance work/home life.

Lyubomirsky, Sonja, Laura King, and Ed Diener. "Does Success Make People Happy or Does Happiness Itself Lead to Success?" Does Success Make People Happy or Does Happiness Itself Lead to Success? American Psychological Association, n.d. Web. 30 Oct. 2013. In this article from the American Psychological Association, the authors discuss how different studies have shown that happiness drives success. They focus on three studies: crosssectional, longitudinal, and experimental. They were able to determine that happiness produces behaviors which in turn lead to success. This article can further help support the stance of my previous sources.

Waters, Becky. "What Are the Keys to Happiness?" Success and Happiness: Leading Experts Reveal Their Secrets. Upper Black Eddy: Austin Bay, 2007. 177-89. Print. In the chapter, What are the Keys to Happiness, by Becky Waters, she lays down some tips for how to change your mood and become a happier person. Just like a few of the previous sources, she demonstrates how happiness leads to behaviors that are likely to increase your level of success. The behaviors include motivation and a goal-driven, positive mindset. Again, this will help me prove that success does not breed happiness, but that it is vice versa.
