Are You Happy at Work?
Do you wake up each day radiantly alive and brimming with cheer?
Do you derive deep meaning from what you do?
Are you so passionate about your work that you would almost pay for
the privilege of doing it?
These are just a few of the provocative questions that Dr. Srikumar
Rao poses in this book, which is based on his wildly popular classes at
schools such as Columbia Business School, the Haas School of Business
at the University of California at Berkeley, and the London School of
Business. Offering a radically different, Zen-like approach to business
success, Dr. Rao's profound teachings redefine what it means to be
successful, rich, and happy -- especially when the economy and job
market throw you for a loop. This is no ordinary business book. This is
Happiness at Work.
When you're worried about your job, future, and monthly bills,
should you really be asking yourself, Am I happy?
Yes, because happiness works.
That's the simple but profound message behind Happiness at Work,
an
interactive
book based on Dr. Srikumar Rao's renowned teachings at
the world's most prestigious business schools. Using thought-provoking
exercises and inspiring life lessons drawn from ancient wisdom, world
history, and business, this transformative guide shows you how to
reclaim your joy for living -- and create your own vision of success.
Learn how to:
- Greet each day with a sense of purpose.
- Commit intensely -- and joyfully -- to everything you do.
- Stop defining your life with "good" or "bad" labels.
- Create your own miracles -- no matter what life throws at you.
- Attract positive people, energy, and actions into your universe.
Dr. Rao's life-altering program will enlighten, amaze, edify, and
inspire you, even in the most challenging of times. You'll learn how
positive thinking and affirmations can actually be bad for you -- and
how some of the things that you may desperately want can be the very
things that devastate you. You'll discover a new path to success based
on your unique definition of what success means. And, with each
exercise in the book, you'll make a more profound connection to the joy
that already exists in your heart.
Happiness doesn't come from your job, house, or bank account -- it
comes from within yourself.
