The Quest for Happiness at Work

You’ve heard the saying that money can’t buy happiness? Well, that’s not exactly true. Money can buy happiness—but only to a certain point. Once you make enough to support yourself without feeling anxious about paying for essential needs (groceries, housing, medical bills), then the positive effects start to taper off. “In spite of all their accomplishments and material possessions, [the super-rich] remain bored and deeply unfulfilled,” says Manfred Kets De Vries, a Professor at INSEAD business school.

Both improve productivity and can increase job satisfaction and retention rates - all measures that benefit individual employees and companies.

How a Mindfulness Practitioner Got Re-minded to Be Mindful!

I read a lot online during my daily commutes and yes the occasional listicle is valuable. Heck, I even write them myself! But I increasingly find myself rolling my eyes - one of my superpowers if you ask my husband and kids - when I come across listicles and see how flimsy some of them are. I know I'm probably guilty of the same, especially when I blog on the fly and can't ground myself long enough to write a proper piece. As I write more and more, I do find it difficult at times to keep the flow going, and it frustrates me.
