Publisher Description
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.
