In response to "why we want to be happy at work at all," I just have to say that work for many is 8 hours a day. That's 1/3 of your day, or about 1/2 of your waking day. This is about 1/5 of your week, and roughly 1/5 of your year spent at work. And, even farther out, about 1/5 of the rest of your working life. To spend that time unhappy is a waste. To spend that time drudging through it all just for the money or just to do it and not really enjoying it or finding any real happiness in it is a waste. And when you're (ok, well, when *I'm*) not happy for 1/3 of the day, it impacts how I feel for the rest of the 2/3. Be happy; enjoy work. And yes, a side benefit of that (and the real benefit to companies) is increased productivity and creativity on the job. I've been in both "good" and "bad" states of mind in various jobs, and it is obvious that I am much more productive when happy at work. Yes, and thank you for having this blog!
