Achor provides stories and case studies from his research among many Fortune 500 companies and executives in 42 different countries, to explain how we can reprogram our brains to become more positive to gain a competitive edge at work. Achor has established seven principles that serve as a foundation to the characteristics of the happiness advantage to show how they can be beneficial to maximizing individual potential. Happiness is the precursor to success, not merely the result… happiness and optimism actually fuels performance and achievement (Achor, 4).

According to the U.S. Supreme Court, the frequency of the discriminatory conduct, the severity of the conduct, which includes whether it was physically threatening or humiliating, and whether or not the actions unreasonably interfere with the employee’s job performance, are all factors that determine if a hostile work environment exists (Cheeseman, 2010). The first factor to consider is that Paula and Sam had a sexual relationship that Paula ended. While there is no law prohibiting such a relationship it can be considered motive for Sam’s behavior. Secondly, it is Paula’s indication that Sam started exhibiting unwanted behaviors after the break up.
