The road to purposeful work is paved with good intentions; but for
many, happiness at work can feel like a hopeless cause. What if the
secret to happiness at work has less to do with our extrinsic
motivations—money, rewards, and personal gain—and more to do with
our intrinsic motivations—the meaningful relationships we build,
and the ability to be in service to those who need it? In this
episode of How to Build a Happy Life, we’ll explore workplace
practices to live out purpose-driven principles. We’ll also talk
about why authenticity is vital to strong leadership and “walking
the talk,” and how to factor emotional needs into our workplaces. A
conversation with Chief Happiness Officer and CEO of Delivering
Happiness, Jenn Lim, helps us tackle one big question at work: Why
do I do this everyday? This episode was produced by Rebecca Rashid
