Dr. Bik Kwoon Tye could be a poster child for Dr. Seligman's work in the field of positive psychology! This story reminds me so much of a book I just finished reading: The Happiness Advantage.

"Conventional wisdom holds that if we work hard we will be more successful, and if we are more successful, then we’ll be happy. If we can just find that great job, win that next promotion, lose those five pounds, happiness will follow. But recent discoveries in the field of positive psychology have shown that this formula is actually backward: Happiness fuels success, not the other way around."

Thanks for posting, Ryan!

Modern Health (YC W18) is taking part this year and I'm excited to join YC at the Work at a Startup Expo. Looking forward to meeting engineers, talking about our modern tech stack, and chatting about open roles.
