Beyond Happiness

How Authentic Leaders Prioritize Purpose and People for Growth and Impact

By: Jenn Lim

Narrated by: Jenn Lim

The cofounder and CEO of Delivering Happiness updates the Delivering Happiness model for our new abnormal, showing organizations of every kind how to cultivate a culture that can adapt to change, be highly profitable, and support all its people...starting with yourself.

Jenn Lim has dedicated her career to helping organizations from name-brand industry leaders to innovative governments build workplace cultures that benefit both their employees and their bottom line, with less employee turnover, greater engagement, and higher profits. Her culture consultancy, Delivering Happiness, demonstrates the profound impact happiness can have on businesses' ability to thrive in our ever-changing times. In this book, she clearly and concretely shows the way the model works in a hyper-connected fast-paced world, beginning with each individual defining their sense of values and purpose (the me), and rippling through the organization ecosystem (the we and the community) in waves of impact.

Drawing on a deep understanding of the science of happiness, Jenn shows how bringing your whole self to work allows you to do your best work every day - no matter what role you play at your company or what crisis might come at you next. She explains how true happiness comes from living your true purpose, and offers case studies to show how companies can help individuals align their purpose with the company mission. This innovation in organizational design and company culture is no longer a nice-to-have. It’s the future of work, and it’s here now. In this life-changing guide, you'll be empowered to find greater purpose in your own life and career, and to spread that power to others in your business and beyond.

Critic reviews

“Picking up where Delivering Happiness left off, Jenn’s congruous approach to happiness and humanity in the workplace will lead to more successful companies because of the people that grow them. She doesn’t just walk the talk, she knows how to communicate in a way that brings new life to these important ideas.” (Shawn Achor, New York Times best-selling author of Big Potential and The Happiness Advantage)

"Jenn Lim genuinely cares about helping individuals and entire organizations be happier, more profitable, and more impactful. You couldn’t ask for a better mentor on your journey to bringing your authentic self to work while co-elevating your teams to think bigger and beyond." (Keith Ferrazzi, number one New York Times best-selling author and founder/CEO of Ferrazzi Greenlight)

“If you think personal happiness and professional success are mutually exclusive, Jenn Lim has over a decade’s worth of profitable organizations that can prove otherwise. Beyond Happiness is essential reading for people who want to find purpose in their work as well as leaders who want to build stronger teams and organizations, with humanity at heart.” (Leah Weiss, PhD, MSW, Stanford University business lecturer, consultant, speaker, and author of How We Work)

Absolutely amazing!

Such beautiful, IMPORTANT words! Jenn, thank you for sharing this with the world! I am recommending to EVERYONE! (also makes for the most meaningful gift with the holidays coming up)

A must read!

Have been a BIG fan of Jenn and delivering happiness’ work. This book brings it to a new level and has got me thinking of how others in my org and my life can continue on, replicate what we have created culture wise but more importantly drive a purposefully, meaningful company & life! We are bringing it to a new level in our company and are building ‘green houses’ (read the book and you will understand) Thank you Jenn!

the book is great and practical

Beyond Happiness is a fascinating book about how to find sustainable happiness in life and work... It is written and read by the author who shares valuable insights and practical exercises throughout the book grounding the reader with her empathy and vulnerability... great book for mothers, business leaders, and anyone looking for a realistic perspective on life and happiness within!

Half way

Gave up half way. Mostly hyperbole with little pay off. Well presented but doesn’t get much substance.

Hard to listen to

The book content was good, but having the author read it was a horrible idea. Very much monotonous to listen to.
