Synopsis

Learn to create resilience and happiness no matter what's going on in your life.

In these tough times, there are few people who are completely happy with the current conditions. From business executives to the everyday Joe or Jane, everyone seems to be going through a rough economic and personal crunch. But Srikumar Rao, a former business school professor and the head of The Rao Institute, says that we can learn to create joy no matter what else may be going on around us.

Rao shows you that it isn't the negative thing that happens to you that causes your unhappiness, it's how you see it. Happiness at Work is a thought-provoking title that moves the mind away from negativity and forces you to resist labeling situations as "bad," but rather see them as neutral.

Happiness at Work provides:

● Surprising ways of looking at change and problem-solving

● Exercises that shift one's perspective

Learn the vital wisdom necessary to achieving a joyful, successful life as you define it through greater resilience and a strong inner core.

Goodreads review by Kristine on August 29, 2012

Srikumar Rao's book is the latest in how to lead an authentic life. There are not a of "new" ideas in this book - in fact much of it is based on Buddhist teachings - but the value is in the way he presents the material. First of all each chapter is relatively short, keeping things fairly succinct. H......more

Goodreads review by AndreaZ on November 01, 2010

This is a great book to help us create happiness wherever we happen to be. It reminded me to stop labeling experiences as bad or good, but to accept them as they are.

We have a human instinct to search for a magic bullet, some instantaneous fix for our problems. So it was with skepticism that I started into Srikumar Rao’s Happiness at Work.

There really is nothing fundamentally new in this book, but I still enjoyed it as it presented mostly Buddhist ideas in a new light. Chapters are short and easy to read with the right mixture of fluff (stories) and beef.......more
