Tal Ben-Shahar Biography

He intended to study to be a computer scientist (his college major, initially). Despite performing well academically, he was unsatisfied and decided to transfer to philosophy and psychology, two subjects that truly interested him. His decision sent him on a novel and exciting course that resulted in his getting a Harvard Doctor of Philosophy in Organizational Behavior. Ben-Shahar decided to focus on Positive Psychology, the study of happiness, within psychology, and later instructed a course at Harvard. His course attracted around 900 Harvard enrollees, making it the largest in the university. The Psychology of Leadership was the next course he decided to give; it was likewise a big success. Ben-Shahar advises and talks to leaders of multinational organizations, at-risk groups, and the general public worldwide. His preferred subjects include leadership, ethics, happiness, self-esteem, resilience, goal setting, and mindfulness, many of which he instructs as part of his duties as the chief learning officer of the Wholebeing Institute. Ben-Shahar decided to create books about the subjects he is most interested in to spread awareness of the crucial concepts of Positive Psychology. Choose the Life You Want: The Mindful Way to Happiness is his most recent book. Additionally, he is the author of Being Happy: You Don't Have to Be Perfect to Lead a Richer, Happier Life and Happier: Learn the Secrets to Daily Joy and Lasting Fulfillment, both of which have achieved New York Times best-seller status.
