About the site
This is a -great- site, and I’m finding -lots- of inspiration here! Rock on!
- Richard M.I usually come to this site first thing every morning, before I get on with my daily business. It has never failed to give a positive good feeling.
- HarishI start my first leadership job in two weeks and I’ve found dozens of articles for later reading. I don’t need anything else - your work is spectacular and has me feeling very motivated and excited to start my new job.

Happiness at work is a strange idea to many people, who have gotten used to the idea that work is unpleasant, tough and hard. Trust me, it doesn’t need to be that way at all. Work can be energizing, meaningful, inspiring and plain old fun. When it is, we enjoy work more, we enjoy life more and we get more done on the job.
Here are some good places to start reading about happiness at work:
- Happy Hour is 9 to 5 - How to Love Your Job, Love Your Life and Kick Butt at Work - My first book about happiness at work.
- The most popular articles on the site
- Happy at work in six minutes - A short video about happiness at work featuring yours truly.
- Make your business happy and rich - a good overview for leaders, entrepreneurs and business owners
This site is a rant-free zone. I enjoy reading or writing a good rant as much as the next person, but there are just so many on the net already. On this site I stick to writing about what I like and what makes me happy.

Speaking of quotes:
W. Somerset Maugham said: “The ability to quote is a serviceable substitute for wit.”
And in a previous job, I used to sign my emails: “Service without slogans.”
