FEATURED PRODUCT How to Be Happy at Work By Annie McKee Life's too short to be unhappy at work. In How to Be Happy at Work, Annie McKee, coauthor of the bestselling Primal Leadership, makes the most compelling case yet that happiness—and the full engagement that comes with it—is more important than ever in today's workplace. Based on extensive research and decades of experience with leaders, she reveals that people must have three essential elements in order to be happy at work: A sense of purpose and the chance to contribute to something bigger than themselves; a vision that is powerful and personal; and resonant, friendly relationships. With vivid and moving real-life stories, How to Be Happy at Work shows how leaders can use these powerful pillars to create and sustain happiness and ensure a healthy, positive climate for their teams and organizations.
