Hi Positively Present, I hope you enjoy it.

Hi Laurie, hope you have fun.

Hi Lance, making life as meaningful as possible is a huge part of your happiness. When we do work we enjoy success comes naturally.

Hi ScottW, we need happiness at work, now more than ever.

Hi Sean, I like that you and your wife work on your goals together in a morning meeting. When you have someone there with you, encouraging you to be even better that just makes the experience more enjoyable.

Hi Ching Ya, hopefully a lot of people find value in the Happy at Work Project.

Hi J.D., when we believe in making ourselves better in every part of our lives we make the game mold around us.

Hi Marelisa, thanks for the Stumble and hopefully a lot of people give it a go.

I agree. Either find the job you love, or love the job you’re with. And growing your job is growing yourself.

I think a lot of people can love their job, but they need more skills and more effective mindsets to do so. For example, focusing on things like “deliberate practice” or “mastering your craft” or “making meaning” or using compelling metaphors can really change your game.

Encouraging. I’ve viewed your video about the confidence at work too, and I believe everyone who’s an employee is having similar situations. This is a great effort of having the Happy at Work Project launched, as I believe some would benefit from it. Keep up the good work.

This looks great Karl!

I’ve downloaded and printed the workbook and will work on that. It is great for us to have our goals/themes written down in front of us. It gets them outside of our minds and into the real world.
The concept of having a resolution a day looks really good. My wife and I have our morning “meeting” over coffee and sketch out our daily, short term and long term goals. I like my work and take pride in what I do but,as with most things in life, there is room for improvement.

Nice work, Karl. I like the workbook. Looking forward to future postings! Happy at Work is an especially important philosophy in today’s economy when so many people are loosing their jobs.

Hi Karl,
I’ve downloaded the PDF and will take a look at it. Very cool – giving people a tool to use in making the work life better. The thing is, we spend a lot of time during our life working. Making that time as meaningful and fun as possible just really makes our lives and our well-being all that much more solid. Great stuff Karl – and a great tool you’re providing!
