Satisfaction
Want to be happier? Focus on significant actions says Goldsmith (92). Want happier employees? Forget about admonishing them to work harder. And stop with the trivial morale boosters. They don't make anyone happier. The personal keys: reduce TV; reduce web surfing; do fewer chores; exercise; spend time with people you love; challenge yourself. Focus on meaning at home and at work, not happiness; end up with more happiness. Try to figure out activities for yourself that, while they are fun to do, add meaning to your life.
