What is a “best self” and can it be turned on and made chronically accessible? Dan explores the notions of best-self activation and signature strengths, examining how both people’s lives and organizational performance can be improved when people’s best selves are activated at work. Dan introduces the seeking system, the part of the brain that urges us to explore what is possible based on our personal strengths, and explains how leaders can tap into enthusiasm and energy when they activate the best self.
