We spend a lot of time at work – about a quarter of it over the course of our lifetime – so it is crucial that our work contributes positively to our happiness.

In this episode, Paul explores the factors that makes us happy – and miserable – in the workplace (our bosses matter a lot) and explains why job security is central to being happier.

Paul's ambition in creating GET HAPPIER goes well beyond simply offering a free copy and ending it there. He intends to foster a community of individuals who can make society happier using rigorous and relevant evidence with minimal effort. Subscribe to Paul's Substack, where he'll share resources and insights so that – as individuals and citizens, employees and employers, parents and policy-makers – we can all GET HAPPIER.
