Does success lead to
happiness, or does
happiness lead
to success?
Argh, it’s difficult!

Happiness is a mindset, not
just a result
The very good news is there is
quite a number of internal
circumstances […] under your
voluntary control. If you decide
to change them [...] your level of
happiness is likely to increase
lastingly.
- Martin Seligman, Authentic Happiness
What are the things
that make people
happy in their jobs?
Thank someone and be appreciative toward
your colleagues, every single day
Give something to
another person or make
it possible for others to
offer gifts
Help someone who is
in need of assistance,
or enable colleagues to
help each other
Eat well, and make good, healthy foods easily
available for everyone
Exercise and work out
regularly and make it
easy for people to take
care of their bodies
Rest well, sleep
sufficiently, and enable
colleagues to refresh
their minds
Experience new things, try stuff out, and let
people run all kinds of experiments
Hike outdoors, enjoy
nature, and allow
people an escape from
the office and the city
Meditate and get
people to learn and
adopt mindfulness
practices
Socialize, relate to
other people, and make
it easy for colleagues to
develop connections
Aim for a goal and get people to understand
and realize their own purpose
Smile whenever you can, appreciate humor,
and get colleagues to engage in fun activities
