31. Happiness at Work

What does it mean to be happy at work? In this week's episode, I share some workplace happiness research I've been doing (because, you know, us academics are always doing the research) in my own quest for understanding what workplace happiness looks like for me. I share Annie McKee's recipe for happiness at work--"meaningful work," "a hopeful view of the future," and "true friendship"--from her book How to be Happy at Work. (Annie has a PhD in Organizational Behavior and is currently a Senior Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, so she's got the research-based goods.) I close the episode with a few reflection and brainstorming exercises to help you define for yourself what workplace happiness looks like.  Happy listening!
