I was asked recently by one of my colleagues at work, what would make me quit my job. I tried to think for a few seconds and then I said that I would file my resignation if I am no longer happy at work.

I've seen several studies that indicate that too many of us around the world are expressing dissatisfaction at work one way or the other. Some studies say that 8 out of 10 people are not fully engage at work. This is somehow appalling given that most of are spending almost one-third of our lives in the office or some other form of work setting.

Fortunately, this book addresses the lack of happiness in organizations as well as within ourselves. The title of the book is straight forward, How to Be Happy at Work. At first I thought that this could be about stress management, relaxation, and healthy habits. Then I realized that this is being published by Harvard Business School Press so there could be some business cases here.

After reading the book, I found myself realizing several things that I've never considered before. Things such as hope and developing friendship at work, never became part of my resolve when I want to be happy. I understand that you need to find personal meaningful purpose on what you are doing to be motivated to do your job as I read in one of the articles in HBR but I haven't considered the friendship aspect at work.

This book gives me different stories including that of the author. She came from a very humble beginnings, now I realized, and she is a product of hard work and resilience. I can relate to some of the other stories not because I was in the same situation but due to the fact that I've seen people in similar cases.

If there is one thing that I can take away from this book, it is that I now understand how to develop happiness for me and for others around me. Things would be a lot better to anyone or any organization if people know how to cultivate happiness with each other. This book is inspiring and reading this makes me happy.

Great tips to use in your everyday lives! I look forward to seeing how this will affect me
