Real Happiness at Work: Meditations for Accomplishment, Achievement, and Peace Description
Real Happiness at Work brings the profound benefits of meditation to an area where people could use it most—the workplace. And it’s written by one of the world’s leading meditation teachers.
A follow-up to Real Happiness, the New York Times bestseller, Sharon Salzberg’s Real Happiness at Work is a practical guide to improving work life through mindfulness, compassion, and ingenuity. It’s about being committed without being consumed, competitive without being cruel, managing time and emotions to counterbalance stress and frustration. It shows readers how to be more creative, organized, and accomplished in order to do better, more productive work.
Dividing the idea of workplace satisfaction into eight pillars, Real Happiness at Work is filled with secular wisdom; core meditations on broad themes like motivation, awareness, and seeing the good in others; and more than a dozen exercises, including Moving From Me to We and When Things Go Wrong. Sprinkled throughout the book are short “stealth” meditations, the kind that are quick, private, and doable anywhere—“Let the phone ring three times, follow your breath, then pick it up” and “For an upcoming one-on-one conversation, resolve to listen more and speak less.”
Even the best jobs are filled with stress, tough deadlines, impatient bosses, seemingly endless meetings—all the ills of harried life. But as science increasingly shows, meditation is the antidote.

Whether you meditate regularly or not (I don't). Whether you hate your job or feel pretty okay about it (the latter for me), this book will change your life for the better in such simple and beautiful ways, it almost feels like magic. Salzberg's voice is knowledgeable and comforting, and her advice is creative and thoroughly doable. Regarding a particular work exchange, I went from dark and angry to open and calm with a simple "stealth meditation." There are more gifts in here than under a thousand Christmas trees!

In today's stressful work environment so full of government threats and uncertain changes to our way of life this book helps a huge amount. Not only for those of us with more grey whiskers buy younger folks as well. Our daughter is an RN working in a small rural hospital where tension is high because of Obamacare and it's pending impact on staffing and the ability of professionals to give the care they deem necessary she has found a measure of peace in the pages of this book.
