How to Be Happy at Work: A Practical Guide to Career Satisfaction
It’s not easy to tell others how to be happy at work, especially people who feel as if they’re living in a career combat zone. I know the battleground well. For the past 20 years, I’ve been a
career counselor, psychotherapist, and corporate outplacement consultant. In that time, I’ve seen more casualties of the career wars than most people experience in a lifetime. I know what it takes to be happy with your work. But I also know there’s no simple formula to achieve career success and satisfaction. The workplace is chaotic.
If you’re like most people, you probably feel that you’re living a career nightmare: working harder to make a living with fewer available resources, more demands on your time, and lots of disincentives to achievement. Perhaps you fantasize about chucking the whole scene. Right about now, life on the golf course, ski slopes, or a sandy beach can look mighty appealing.
Maybe you just need a good, long vacation. You don’t want to drop out of the workforce altogether, but you’re hungering for a new adventure. You want more control over your time and your
destiny. Your rallying cry is More Freedom, Less Office Politics! To be truly happy with your work, you must forge a path that fits your needs and life goals. No one is going to hand you the perfect career on the proverbial “silver platter.” The issue, as psychiatrist Thomas Szasz tells us, is not whether or not you’ve found yourself; it’s whether or not you’ve taken the time to create yourself.
Freud once identified “work” and “love” as the two greatest sources of human happiness. For me, this book has been a true labor of love. If it helps you make fulfilling life and work changes, it will have done its job and I, too, will be well satisfied.

immensely practical the proven 80/20 sensation he lives himself and
created for millions of others. Koch is the author of the international
Bestseller, The 80/20 Principle.
