Can you define happiness? Yes, but how?
Depending on the individual and his state of mind, happiness can signify anything from tranquility to contentment.
The concept of happiness is arbitrary. Happiness may mean different things to each of us. In the work environment, the meaning of happiness can be narrowed down to when someone enjoys their work and has an optimistic attitude toward life. Workplace happiness could be that small gesture of appreciation from your boss. Or the satisfaction you experience when finishing a project before the due date.
In this episode, Pamela Gail Johnson discusses happiness and, most significantly, the concept of practical happiness.
