Work and Success

Many executives chase professional success at the expense of happiness, but it doesn’t have to be that way. When work offers earned success and service to others, it becomes meaningful—and meaning is something no one can live without. That’s why work is one of the four pillars of a happy life. Arthur explains the nuances of success addiction so fellow strivers can find more happiness instead of finding themselves burned out and miserable.

“What matters is not so much the ‘what’ of a job, but more the ‘who’ and the ‘why’: Job satisfaction comes from people, values, and a sense of accomplishment.” 

Arthur Brooks

“Without going too far out on a limb, I believe almost everyone would like two things from their jobs and careers: success and happiness.”

Arthur Brooks

“Joy at work isn’t about doing less. It’s about doing more of what matters. What do you love about your work?”

Arthur Brooks
