According to Chris Voss, our brains work 31% more efficiently when we are in a good mood. That means we can figure out solutions easier, we can make better choices, and we are more agreeable to move forward.
If one of our major responsibilities is to solve problems, it makes sense to be diligent about looking after our mood, so that we can make the best choices.
