If you’re spending your days with negative people, studies show that you too will feel and act in a negative way. You become who you spend your time with, so make sure to surround yourself with happy people. To increase confidence, the book shows that sitting in a straight pose for a minimum of 20-minutes per day should do it.

Body language is also extremely important in the process of improving yourself. Smiling and thinking positively, even if you don’t always feel like it, can help you become more joyous and activate the “feel-good” hormones.
