5 Myths of Happiness

The surprising truth about what really makes us happy at work

We highlight some of the preconceptions about happiness, particularly in relation to work, and why they are actually misleading. Using a mixture of stories, videos and (sometimes surprising) exercises we tackle the following myths:

• Positive psychology = positive thinking
• My boss’s job/next job will make me happier
• I’ll be happier when I earn more money
• My ‘dream job’ would make me happier
• If I fix all my weaknesses I’ll be happier

Everyone leaves with a happiness challenge to keep the good feeling alive.
