The perceived wisdom on happiness is that, for most people, up to fifty percent of our propensity to be happy is dictated by our genes. Ten percent is influenced by our environment, which includes our jobs. This leaves around forty percent of our abillity to be happy down to our own attitude or activities. Room there for happiness in almost any job. I've co-authored an article on the-happy-manager.com which explains what we call the Happy Work-cycle. This attempts to summarise a logical approach to making the most of our working lives. In an ideal world we'd all do what we love. However, for most people that's probably not possible. If it's not, then the logical action sequence is to do more of what we love in our current jobs; or to learn to love or accept what we have to do, by applying positive psychology. The full article can be found at: http://www.the-happy-manager.com/goal-setting-tip.html. Anyone interested in more on our ability to change our levels of happiness might also be interested in several articles at: http://www.the-happy-manager.com/happiness-information.html.
