11 ways to find happiness at work

1. Do not label “good” or “bad”

If something bad happens, do not expose yourself. Realize what happened, but don’t give ratings. Try to do what you have to do without losing peace and tranquility.
2. Develop in yourself "extreme stability"

By "extreme stability" the author of the book understands the ability to quickly recover from troubles. You should not waste time on fruitless self-flagellation and the search for the guilty. If you are stress-resistant, it will help you quickly recover from failures and continue to do great things. At the same time, the author of the book makes a special reservation that if you fully follow his first advice (not to perceive events as good or bad), then you will not need to develop such stability in yourself.
3. Forget the grievances

Forgetting grievances is the key to happiness at work, Rao says. You should consciously stop tedding the past, and even if this is not easy, then over time it will start to work out.
4. Do not waste time on envy

“When you envy others, you acknowledge that the world is too small and there is no success left for you,” Rao said. And he advises just to be happy, because what happened to a colleague will happen to you either at this job or in another company.
5. Look for the meaning of life in yourself, not in work

Of course, you can fantasize about a job that is well paid, in which you do something socially useful, working together with brilliant and pretty colleagues and also returning home for dinner. The author of the book warns against finding such an ideal job, even if it exists. Instead, he proposes a change in attitude towards life. Do not think of yourself as a personnel manager in a bank, but consider yourself a person who helps other employees to provide for their families.
6. Do not consider people robots

Most of the time we value other people in terms of what they can do for us. And therefore, for example, they are very friendly with leaders, realizing that they can help us. Do not evaluate colleagues from the position of what role they can play in your career, but treat them like people. And help them, because that's why we were born.
7. Remember what you were 10 years ago, and imagine yourself in 10 years

Most of the problems that kept you awake 10 years ago have disappeared. And most of what is bothering you now will also seem ridiculous over time. Understand this truth and it will open up new perspectives.
8. Forget about the subjunctive mood

Many of us are corrupted by the subjunctive model of happiness. We are sure that we will gain it if we take the position of CEO or receive a dollar salary with five zeros. “There is nothing that you must achieve or do for happiness,” the author writes.
9. Focus on the process, not the result.

“The results are completely beyond your control,” Rao writes. You will only find disappointment if you concentrate on what you want to achieve, and not on how to achieve it.
10. Think of other people.

If a good guy has been recruited, he can still succeed and succeed. “I challenge the assumption that in order to survive in a corporate environment, one must be merciless to others,” Rao writes.
11. Stop solving many problems at the same time

According to the author of the book, the simultaneous solution of many problems is an obstacle to happiness at work. This means that you do a lot of things badly at once and spend more time on it. Instead, Rao advises working on each task for 20 minutes, gradually increasing these intervals to 2 hours. In addition, he advises turning off all gadgets that may be distracting.
