Jessica Pryce-Jones 
Happiness at Work 
Maximizing Your Psychological Capital for Success

Sharing the results of her four-year research journey in simple,
jargon-free language, Pryce-Jones exposes the secrets of being
happy at work.

* Focuses on what happiness really means in a work context and
why it matters to individuals and organisations in both human and
financial terms

* Equips readers with the information, knowledge and skills to
make the most of the nearly 100, 000 hours that they’ll spend at
work over a lifetime

* Demystifies psychological research through a fascinating array
of anecdotes, case studies, and interviews from people in the
trenches of the working world, including business world-leaders,
politicians, particle physicists, and philosophers, sheep farmers,
waitresses, journalists, teachers, and lawyers, to name just a
few
