Summary of Michelle Gielan's Broadcasting Happinesss

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The choice to continually broadcast stories of unhappiness is why viewers stopped watching. When I ask in my talks at companies and schools how many people have decreased the amount of news they watch because of the negative effect it has on mood, more than 50 percent of the audience members raise their hands.

#2 We cannot live our lives ostrichcized, meaning we cannot ignore the negative and hope it will never affect us. We must understand that change is not possible if we continue to select negative stories and broadcasts.

#3 We are all broadcasters, which comes with a great deal of power and responsibility. The ratio of positive to negative news matters, but how we tell the stories matters just as much.

#4 I once did a series called Happy Week on happiness, which aired in the middle of the darkest economic period in American history. The segments received more positive emails than any other episode.
