Hi Lance, it is easy to forget that we need to take responsibility for our own work happiness. When we stop blaming outside forces and actually use them to help us, we can improve our happiness much faster.

Hi Karl,
Very cool! I’m looking forward to reading this. The whole idea of this employer/employee relationship being a 50/50 partnership is an important point you bring up. It is not solely the employer’s responsibility to make work “fun”. Some responsibility definitely lies within the employees. Easy to forget…when we start complaining about our work environment, etc – it’s too easy to blame the establishment – and forget that a large part of the make up of the company is it’s employees.

Hi Karl: The e-book is fabulous. I particularly like that every Google employee is an entrepreneur, and this:

Google has an internal website called “Google Ideas.” Google
employees submit their suggestions on how to improve a product or
how to make things better at Google. Their co-workers can read this
site and give their feedback by rating the suggestion and leaving
comments. Management monitors this website very closely so they
can stay abreast of their employees’ feelings.
