Okay, I have to admit the first time I ran across Alexander Kjerulf’s Positive Sharing site, I assumed it was probably a bunch of bulls*** management nonsense. Kjerulf’s message is about how to be happy and create happiness at work.
He’s written a book on the topic which says it all, Happy Hour is 9 to 5. The book can be read completely online, and is also available for sale in print and PDF versions at Lulu.Com.
A lot of the book is advice about how not to create workplaces that grind people down, and why that’s a lot more effective than the sort of places we all hate to work. I’m not saying it’s a revolutionary book that will change everything, but it Kjerulf has a very interesting perspective and concrete ideas that are worth taking a look at.
