Book Description

March 8, 2010
Learn to create resilience and happiness no matter what’s going on in your life

In these tough times, there are few people who are completely happy with the current conditions. From business executives to the everyday Joe or Jane, everyone seems to be going through a rough economic and personal crunch. But acclaimed business school Professor Srikumar Rao says that we can learn to create joy no matter what else may be going on around us.

Rao shows you that it isn't the negative thing that happens to you that causes your unhappiness, it's how you see it. Happiness at Work is a thought-provoking new title that moves the mind away from negativity and forces you to resist labeling situations as "bad", but rather seeing them as neutral.

Happiness at Work provides:

  • Surprising ways of looking at change and problem-solving
  • Exercises that shift one’s perspective

Learn the vital wisdom necessary to achieving a joyful, successful life as you define it through greater resilience and a strong inner core. Get it now with The Happiness Choice.

"Follow Srikumar Rao’s instructions and you will enjoy the journey to more happiness and meaning in your life, no matter what!"
--Marshall Goldsmith, author of What Got You Here Won’t Get You There

"Happiness at Work brings new understanding of the essential role happiness plays in workplace learning and performance. Srikumar Rao’s guidelines for our journey to leadership include aspects rarely explored and newly significant."
--Frances Hesselbein, chairman and founding president, Leader to Leader Institute/Drucker Foundation for Nonprofit Management

"This book is a treasure chest full of wisdom. Each and every one of its 34 chapters introduced me to or reminded me of a very important principle for living a happy and successful life."
--Jack Canfield, co-creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul® series and coauthor of The Success Principles

5.0 out of 5 stars Life changing, March 30, 2010
By 
This review is from: Happiness at Work: Be Resilient, Motivated, and Successful - No Matter What (Hardcover)
I have read many books about positive psychology, optimism, and happiness. I enjoyed many of them. I expected something somewhat similar here, but was surprised to see that Happiness at Work offers a completely different way of looking at things. Srikumar Rao shows that so much of our own sense of happiness is in how we approach things--his advice to stop labeling things that happen as good or bad, for example, seemed odd at first. But when I really thought about it, it made complete sense. Things that seem terribly bad at first might end up taking us in new directions that we wouldn't have pursued had the "bad" thing not happened, and we end up more enriched, satisfied, and more filled with joy. And things that seem "good" often don't really make us any happier in the long run. The book is deceptively simple--an easy, yet profound read with thoughts that really stay with you. I recommend it for anyone who is feeling stuck and unhappy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Outstanding, March 31, 2010
This review is from: Happiness at Work: Be Resilient, Motivated, and Successful - No Matter What (Hardcover)
I generally don't review books on Amazon although I read a lot and rank them to improve my own recommendations. I could not believe this book had only one review so I'm adding another. I have read many, many personal development, self-help, and psychology books and this one ranks as one of the best. I cannot imagine anyone not getting value from this book. The writing is so clear and the ideas so good it may be the best $15 you ever spent.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you read one book this year, April 6, 2010
By 
This review is from: Happiness at Work: Be Resilient, Motivated, and Successful - No Matter What (Hardcover)
If you read one book this year, make this the one. This book CAN change your life, completely, for the better, forever. This is not some "smile long enough and you'll be happy" bs book. Dr. Rao has broken down some of the most complicated concepts ever discussed throughout human history related to perception and laid them bare in an accessible format. In other words, you can't help but be helped when you read this book.

If you're interested in questions relating to perception (and if you don't know what that means, you can replace that with: if you liked the Matrix Trilogy), you will LOVE this book. Seriously. Get the book. Read the book. Buy it for your friends.
