From Exhausted to Energized: Helping You Build a Happier Life and Workplace

Connect with Jessica

Happiness Is Not a Perk. It Is a Strategy.

Most advice about workplace well-being asks people for willpower and motivation, which are the first two things to leave when a team is depleted. It shows up asking for exactly what nobody has left.

Jessica H. Maurer works the other way. She helps organizations find the small, repeatable changes people can actually make on a hard Tuesday, and she backs each one with research you can check. She also names what quietly gets in the way, including the boredom that so many people mistake for burnout.

Happiness at work is not a perk or a quarterly initiative. It is a set of conditions, and you can build them.

The Happiness Handbook: A Guide to Designing Joy, by Jessica H. Maurer

A guide to designing joy

The Happiness Handbook

Willpower and motivation are the first two things that leave when you are depleted. They are gone before the energy is. Which means most advice about building a better life arrives asking for exactly what you no longer have.

This book starts somewhere smaller. Six ordinary things already around you, each one something you can act on as a single decision, with no preparation and no plan you have to sustain afterward. It is a book you write in rather than a book you read.
