Barbara Corcoran: 'The Joy Is in the Getting There' | Video | Entrepreneur.com

Barbara Corcoran's bright-eyed smiles and quick wit come across as vibrant as the pinks and yellows she favors in her wardrobe and home décor. But there is no mistaking this multi-millionaire entrepreneur's no-nonsense approach to business.
Corcoran is widely recognized as one of the 'shark' investors from the popular ABC reality show Shark Tank, but she also has long been known as a real estate mogul in New York City. Her jackpot success came with the sale of her real estate company, The Corcoran Group, for $66 million in 2001.
For this interview with 'Trep Talk, I sat down with Corcoran in her Park Avenue apartment, an appropriately swanky chunk of Manhattan real estate. She shares the humbling moment that taught her an important life lesson, her secret for growing a business, plus pitching mistakes from the shark tank and much more.

Positive Psychology given credence by Academia:

Positive psychology is the scientific study of the strengths and virtues that enable individuals and communities to thrive.

Commentators on the subject Martin Seligman and Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, note that:

"The field of positive psychology at the subjective level is about valued subjective experiences: well-being, contentment, and satisfaction (in the past); hope and optimism (for the future); and flow and happiness (in the present).

At the individual level, it is about positive individual traits: the capacity for love and vocation, courage, interpersonal skill, aesthetic sensibility, perseverance, forgiveness, originality, future mindedness, spirituality, high talent, and wisdom.

At the group level, it is about the civic virtues and the institutions that move individuals toward better citizenship: responsibility, nurturance, altruism, civility, moderation,tolerance, and work ethic."
