The Work Happiness Method: Master the 8 Skills to Career Fulfillment by Stella Grizont Book Review

 

In The Work Happiness Method, Stella Grizont explored the eight keys she learned to master a better working attitude and environment. She begins by sharing how she worked for a coaching and training company for ten years in brand strategy. She soon realized that she wasn’t happy and wasn’t living up to her full potential. She began to catch common colds and was depressed. It took her a while to rediscover what she wanted to do instead. She first went back to school to study happiness’s also known as Applied Positive Psychology. She was able to help other women launch their businesses and she helped Google and Johnson & Johnson. She was still struggling with anxiety. In the book, she shared the 8 keys: resilience, purpose, play, discovery, boundaries, just to name a few. 

 

 

One of my favorite chapters was about boundaries. She shared how burnout affects one in three people and they feel often burned out. This can lead to people wanting to quit their jobs. They experience exhaustion, cynicism, and inefficacy. She revealed what the job demand resources model is and how it happens. We all face many demands that takes away our energy. It could be conflict, taking on too many tasks, and not receiving any help. Resources are things that can boost our energy. This could be making meaningful relationships and work. She has an excellent worksheet to use to track for a week everything that make us feel energetic and things that don’t. She looked at boundaries and how if we set them properly, they can assist us in finding balance. She explored the mechanics of stress and how our bodies can’t recognize threats as real or mentally. 

 

 

I would recommend this awesome book on finding work place happiness to anyone who is struggling with burnout or having trouble finding their purpose. I appreciated how she also opened up about her mother’s cancer diagnose and how this led her to being more proactive in her own health. She went into detail about her own anxieties and what if’s. This book was very well researched on happiness and how we can learn new techniques to help us at our jobs.
