A proven five-step framework to overcome the most pressing challenges in the modern workplace

At a time when American workplaces are in crisis, Happiness Works: The Science of Thriving at Work delivers a five-step framework to address the growing challenges they face, including the complexities of hybrid/remote work, rising mental health concerns, and a pervasive sense of disconnection and disengagement. Rooted in the latest research on psychology, this book offers a view of happiness at work that goes beyond hacks, cliches, and platitudes, enabling readers to create more inclusive, engaging, and ultimately more successful team environments.

Drawing on author Jessica Weiss's 15 years of leadership, culture, and organizational development consulting experience for some of the country's most prestigious organizations including Coca-Cola and Johnson & Johnson, this book explores concepts including:

Fairness, transparency, and a help-others attitude as essential requisites to happiness habits and strategies Positivity and resilience as tools to manage negative thoughts and emotions The importance of friends at work A new concept of a To-Do List, focusing exclusively on what you got done The power of savoring the moment as a strategy to rewrite neural pathways for happiness

Thought-provoking and highly practical at every turn of the page, Happiness Works earns a well-deserved spot on the bookshelves of all professionals and leaders seeking real solutions to some of the most pressing problems in the workplace today.
