its an easy read!

Each chapter is a tidbit of useful tips to navigate the often contentious and yes unhappy workplace. Maybe if people would read this book, they'd think twice before complaining, gossiping and bullying. It should be required reading.

Good book and an easy read.

Great insight with wisdom nuggets offered in short, concise chapters.

Happy @ Work by Jim Donovan is a book everyone who has a job should read, not just those who are unhappy. Of course, it will definitely help those who hate their job, or just aren’t happy about it. However, everyone can benefit from reading this book!Happy @ Work is filled with good tips and stories that can help you to be happier at work, and also your life outside of work. This book is meant to be read one (small) chapter at a time, or per day. You can start at the first one and go through it that way, or just open it up and read where you landed. Either way you want to go about it, I’d suggest marking the ones that resonate more with you, that way you can come back to those again and get the motivation you need, and of course, be happier.The biggest thing for me that Donovan discusses is how to deal with difficult people, and those who gossip. He offers sound advice and whatever it is that you are dealing with at work that is making you unhappy, he probably has quite a few tips to help you enjoy your time spent at work more. I definitely recommend it!* Thank you to the publisher of Happy @ Work, New World Library, for providing me with a copy of this book for review. All opinions expressed are my own.

Written from the heart, based on life experience, Jim Donovan speaks to a variety of issues that when addressed and resolved quickly, will most definitely improve not just your work and/or career, but all aspects of your life. Honest and open, each chapter, which is very short, tells it like it is without the fluff. That's a great approach, no wasted time or effort - you get what you need. This is not new information, it's just new in that this has not been taught to us from any source, until now. It's about LEARNING what you know but don't remember, LEARNING to get back to the basics, the simple and the important things, that truly do make your life great. It's all in your perspective and Jim's is spot on! A short, quick, very informative read - not just for those who want to improve their work life either. EVERYONE will benefit from this straight-forward, easy to understand read. It's a great tool to reference and the categories are all self-explanatory - no guesswork involved. This would make a great gift for everyone on your list. You can't go wrong with something so good!!!! This is not just life-improving, it is life-changing.

Enjoyed the book. Jim is very insightful. Planning to run through a few more of his books while traveling.
