I was interviewed for this great article in Swedish business magazine Veckans Afärer: Lyckliga företag är framgångsrika företag.

I’m in this Slovakian article on teambuilding: Negatívne aspekty tímbildingu. Tímbilding nemá by? kr?mová zábava.

And I’m also in this Taiwanese article on dealing with negative coworkers: ??????????????????8??????????.

Here’s a great article in Italian, that says some very nice things  about me, including this:

Alexander Kjerulf è un visionario, forse.
…
A loro dobbiamo immensa gratitudine. Perché solo a un visionario poteva venire in mente di creare una figura azienda denominata Chief Happiness Officer . Il manager della felicità. Colui che si prende cura della buona armonia in azienda. Partendo dal presupposto, fondamentale, che una maggiore felicità in azienda porta a maggiori risultati. Ci sono ormai numerosi studi che dimostrano come impiegati felici siano più produttivi.

Or, according to google translate:

Alexander Kjerulf is a visionary, perhaps.
…
To them we owe immense gratitude . Because only a visionary could think of creating a figure company named Chief Happiness Officer . The manager of happiness . One who takes care of the good harmony in the company. Assuming, fundamental, that greater happiness in the company leads to greater results. There are now numerous studies demonstrating that happy employees are more productive.

Hey – look who’s in the papers in the Czech Republic:

That’s in preparation for my speech and workshop in Prague this week.

Argentinian magazine Ámbito recently featured us and our awesome partner in Buenos Aires, Martin Leroy of Grupo Aukera in a number of articles about happiness at work.

You can read all three here:

• Animarse a renunciar al trabajo
• Se deben priorizar las relaciones
• Nuevos cargos gerenciales para potenciar las organizaciones

I’m featured in the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera under the headline “Il manager della felicità arriva in azienda” – The happiness manager arrives in the workplace.

I’ve been getting a lot of emails from Italy since the article came out and the message is always the same: Italian workplaces don’t focus on happiness and having a Chief Happiness Officer would be a welcome development.

I am in BBC Radio 3’s very loose adaptation of Kafka’s The Metamorphosis called Mr. Rainbow. Here Gregory, Kafka’s main character facing a scary transformation, seeks advice from different experts – including yours truly.

Give it a listen – it’s awesome :)
