HPUMC Congregant Shawn Achor Featured on The Oprah Podcast

We're excited to celebrate HPUMC congregant Shawn Achor, who was recently featured on “The Oprah Podcast” in a thoughtful conversation with Oprah Winfrey about his new book, “The Power of Beliefs: How Strengthening Seven Core Beliefs Predicts Greater Success and a Better Life.”

A leading researcher in positive psychology and bestselling author, Shawn has spent more than two decades studying the connection between happiness, success, and human potential. In the conversation, he shares how our beliefs influence the way we think, respond to challenges, and ultimately shape our lives.

Drawing from his latest book, Shawn introduces seven core beliefs that can be strengthened to build greater resilience, increase well-being, and unlock human potential. Through scientific research, compelling stories, practical tools, and audience questions, he and Oprah explore topics such as gratitude, purpose, generosity, and the belief that our actions truly matter.

We're grateful for the ways Shawn continues to use his gifts to encourage others and are proud to celebrate this exciting accomplishment.

If you listen to the episode, be sure to stay through the conversation—as a fun connection for the HPUMC family, Shawn shares a story around the 41-minute mark that references our own Rev. Matt Tuggle.
