Publisher's Synopsis
What is the nature of human happiness, and how do we achieve it in the course of our professional lives? And is it even worth pursuing? This book explores answers to these questions with research into how happiness is measured, frameworks for personal behaviors, management techniques that build happiness in the workplace--and warnings that highlight where the happiness hype has been overblown. This collection of articles from HBR includes Happiness Isn't the Absence of Negative Feelings by Jennifer Moss; Being Happy at Work Matters by Annie McKee; The Science Behind the Smile, an interview with Daniel Gilbert by Gardiner Morse; The Power of Small Wins by Teresa M. Amabile and Steven J. Kramer; Creating Sustainable Performance by Gretchen Spreitzer and Christine Porath; The Research We've Ignored About Happiness at Work by André Spice and Carl Cedarström; and The Happiness Backlash by Alison Beard.
