Publisher's summary

Many never find happiness at work. Will you?

Why are so many people unhappy at work, if they choose the work they do? After teaching as a professor at the New York University Leonard N. Stern School of Business, The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, and Ivey Business School in Canada, Bryan Hong shares his observations based on hundreds of conversations with his students before and after graduation.

Although many don't realize it, unhappiness at work is a consequence of the way we've designed our society, especially our education system. Rather than prepare us for genuine success and happiness in life, most of us are never told what we need to know to answer even our most basic life questions. In this book, Dr. Hong shares what everyone who wants to be happier at work—and in life—should know. The first step begins with the most important lesson so many of us never learn in school: We must evolve to our true purpose.

In this book, the author explores:

  • How our society works to shape us in ways that will never lead to happiness at work
  • What it truly means to have a strong sense of purpose at work, and why we all need it for a life beyond survival and pleasure
  • How we can evolve to purpose in a world where so many work without it

What if there was much more to your life than what you've been told?

Fascinating and Profound

I love that this book is more than just another career book. It is not a typical self-motivation book that pushes me to aim higher and achieve more. It has a deeper mission: to help people go beyond finding a job and explore their own story and values.

I already had the book and decided to get the audiobook to listen to while doing chores. It’s interesting how my favorite chapters change between reading and listening. For listening, I particularly enjoy chapters 7 to 10, where we reflect on the addictive hamster wheel we might be on and how we should write our own story.

Overall, hearing it as an audiobook was a great experience—everything was clearly articulated, and the narration was smooth and clear. I also appreciated the light acting moments that brought the conversations in the book to life.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
