Hacking Happiness

Meer over het boek

Ask yourself how adaptable do you think we are as a society, as workers, and as individuals? How skilled are we at embracing change and leveraging it as a foundation to innovate and thrive? Judging by the significant rise in mental health issues and the correlation with the rapid introduction of new technologies, it's clear we have a serious skill gap on our hands and the time to address it is now. This book explores the happiness poverty problem and how by surfing the edge of your comfort zone, you can not only adapt but create a happy future. You're at the top of your game but why are you so damn unhappy? The more perfect your life appears from the outside, the more you yearn for an answer to why you feel so discontent, uneasy and uncomfortable inside. At work, you're so thinly spread that nothing really gets the attention it needs and meaningful impact often feels elusive. As a leader, you are tasked with helping your people navigate the pace and scale of change but, honestly, you don't even know how to do this for yourself ... let alone others. Herein lies the problem. There is no perfect plan, it's the action that breeds the clarity. It's the courage to leap into the unknown, experiment, fail, learn and intentionally adapt that will enable you to unlock happiness. It's about focusing on what you're avoiding, not what you're missing in your life. Happiness is a journey not an end game. This book is an opportunity to look at the world, work and life through a different lens. To challenge your desire for certainty and instead consider the magic that lies in complexity and the unknown. Professionals, executives, leaders, humans, will appreciate that the opportunity for happiness and success is found when we surf the edge of our comfort zone
