Workplace happiness doesn't always come easily, but the effort pays off. When you're happy at work, you thrive personally, professionally and mentally.

It's our own responsibility to be happy at work. It's not the responsibility of our boss, or our colleagues, or the organization for whom we work. Being happy at work is also in your best interest too. Research shows that happy employees are likely to earn more, have better mental health and are more likely to be promoted.

In this book, WorkL founder Mark Price, sets out what it is that makes people happy, or not-so-happy at work and he explains how you can measure happiness and improve the situation.

Work Happier is written for anyone in any workplace anywhere. Whether you work on the shop floor or the board room, or if you're customer-facing or in a support role, this easy-to-read book will empower you to take control of your working life.
