For A 2008 New Year's Greetings, Be Mindful That it is the 'Happy' Part That Really Counts, Says Business Leadership Expert

This year, the most important New Year's resolution one can make is to be Happy. Happy people, it has been demonstrated scientifically, are more successful in their personal and professional lives. Cathy L. Greenberg, Ph.D., a bestselling author on the topic of Happiness, says that people must resolve to be happy, it isn't something that happens to them.

Tucson, AZ (PRWEB) December 27, 2007 -- As the count clicks down to midnight, it is the most natural instinct in the world to turn to the loved one next to you and wish him or her a "Happy New Year."

For most of us, observes Cathy L. Greenberg, Ph.D., we wrongly emphasize the 'New Year' in 'Happy New Year' when we should be concentrating on the 'Happy.'

Dr. Greenberg is a globally recognized leadership and organization expert who has researched and authored multiple bestselling books on the power of happiness to revolutionize our personal and professional lives.

In a pre-New Year's post on her new weblog, www.cathygreenberg.com, Dr. Greenberg notes that happiness requires resolution, just as do dieting and smoking cessation. "If you want to make and stick to one New Year's resolution in 2008, resolve to be happy." (Incidentally, she adds, truly happy people find it easier to eat and smoke less.)

On her new blog, Dr. Greenberg shares her thinking on research on happiness, as well as many insights vital to being a business, professional and personal success.

Marshall Goldsmith, who coauthored Global Leadership: Next Generation with Dr. Greenberg, calls her "one of the most creative and refreshing thinkers in our field." His sentiments are echoed by bestselling author, Warren Bennis, who says of Dr. Greenberg's work that it "is creative and robust and creates a rich human harvest for her clients and their organizations."
