What’s in it for me? Learn how to be happier at work.

Eat, sleep, work, repeat. For many of us, that sounds like an all too accurate description of our day-to-day lives. Of course, it’s a bit of an exaggeration. Even those of us who work more than 40 hours per week still manage to do other things with our limited free time.

But still, it captures the main thrust of the cycle many of us feel trapped in. And in some ways, it’s even an understatement. Many of us skip our lunch breaks, burn the midnight oil, and wake up at the crack of dawn for our jobs. Forget about “eat” and “sleep” – it’s mostly just “work, repeat.”

Even worse, the work itself often feels stressful, draining, and devoid of meaning. It all adds up to a recipe for a profoundly unhappy, unfulfilling work-life. What’s gone wrong? And what can we do about it? Those are the questions we’re about to explore.

In these blinks, you’ll learn

what a rock band can teach us about stress;
why you might be suffering from Hurry Sickness; and
how to disconnect from distractions by entering monk mode.

Workplace unhappiness is a widespread problem that deeply affects our health, well-being, and productivity.

Feeling unhappy at your job? If so, welcome to the club!

In one survey after another, the majority of people report negative sentiments about their work. An overwhelming 83 percent of American employees say their jobs make them stressed. More than half of all British workers report feeling burned out by their jobs. And when workers across the world are asked to rank their daily activities from favorite to least favorite, being at work ends up in second-to-last place – just a notch ahead of being sick in bed.

The picture is pretty bleak, and it gets even bleaker when you start looking at the consequences of all this unhappiness.

The key message here is: Workplace unhappiness is a widespread problem that deeply affects our health, well-being, and productivity.

A stressful job doesn’t just make your life unpleasant. It can also take a heavy toll on both your body and your mind. Consider a study by Alexandra Michel, a researcher at the University of Southern California. She looked at how working long, stressful hours impacted investment bankers, who routinely put in 15-hour days at the beginning of their careers.

Michel found that the bankers exhibited a range of physical symptoms, including hair loss, extreme weight changes, panic attacks, and insomnia. By the fourth year on the job, they were suffering from an increased rate of diabetes, heart problems, and even cancer. The mental health consequences were also serious. They included higher rates of depression, anxiety, and addiction to drugs and alcohol.

These are all problems that should trouble us in their own right. But even if you were a totally heartless boss who cared only about your business’s bottom line, there would still be serious cause for concern – it’s not just workers’ health and well-being that are being negatively impacted, it’s also their ability to do their jobs.

Here again, the statistics speak for themselves. A study by researchers at Warwick University shows that happy workers are 22 percent more productive than their unhappy counterparts. And the symptoms of stress can also have a major impact on work performance. For instance, a lack of sleep can increase the rate at which workers make mistakes on the job.

Researchers have confirmed this connection in a variety of job sectors, ranging from the healthcare industry to the military. But you probably don’t need science to tell you what all of us have experienced first-hand: it’s hard to think straight when you’re exhausted.

Stress is generally bad for our creativity.

Sure, stress can have negative impacts on our health and well-being – but can’t it also be a good thing? After all, many people say they “work better under pressure.”

Hit a wall with a project? Nothing like a looming deadline to get your creative juices flowing – or so it seems to many of us. But that’s only true up to a certain point.

Many employees lack engagement with their jobs, which is bad for business.

Less productivity, less creativity – even from a purely business-minded standpoint, the case against workplace unhappiness is already compelling. But wait, the problem gets even worse.

On top of being stressed out by their jobs, today’s workers are also experiencing a lack of engagement. That means they don’t feel enthusiastic about or connected with the jobs they do or the people they work for. A 2018 Gallup survey found this to be the case for 53 percent of US workers, while another 13 percent were actively disengaged.

Many of us are exhausted by overwork, constant connectivity, and continual distractions.

Do you feel restless about your job? Does it seem like there’s always more work to be done? Do you feel guilty or anxious if you don’t keep busy?

If so, you might be suffering from a condition called hurry sickness – and you’re definitely not alone. It’s a condition that afflicts many of us. That’s because it’s tied up with some larger problems that are endemic to the modern workplace.

Some simple changes of practice can help us to recharge our energy at the workplace.

Alright, so we feel exhausted by overwork, constant connectivity, and continual distraction – but how can we start recharging our depleted energy?

In this blink, we’ll start with the simplest and most unobjectionable things we can do. In the next blink, we’ll then look at some more radical and potentially controversial solutions.

With the cooperation of their employers, workers can take even more radical steps to recharge their energy.

Ready for some more radical steps you can take to recharge your energy? Great – but first, a quick word of warning.

If you’re an employee, keep in mind that these “hacks” will ultimately require the cooperation of your employer – but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t start a conversation about trying them out at your workplace!

Minor tweaks of the work environment can lead to major improvements in our relationships to our colleagues.

You go to work, you’re surrounded by dozens – or maybe even hundreds – of colleagues, yet somehow you still feel isolated. Does this sound at all familiar?

If it’s any consolation, you’re not alone in feeling alone. Workplace loneliness is on the rise. Nearly half of American adults report feeling lonely sometimes or always, despite spending most of the day with other people at work.

Companies can generate workplace buzz by promoting feelings of positive affect and psychological safety.

Have you ever walked into an office and felt as if you were stepping into some sort of cross between a library and a morgue? Everyone’s silently sitting at their desks, typing away at their computers with a grim look on their faces. The whole place feels dead.

That’s not the work environment that most of us want to experience. We’d like there to be a sense of excitement in the air. But unfortunately, that’s the prevailing atmosphere in all too many workplaces. In this final blink, let’s look at how we can turn this around and generate the “buzz” that turns a place of work into a great place to work.

❤️ für Blinkist️️️

Ines S.

Ich bin begeistert. Ich liebe Bücher aber durch zwei kleine Kinder komme ich einfach nicht zum Lesen. Und ja, viele Bücher haben viel bla bla und die Quintessenz ist eigentlich ein Bruchteil.

Genau dafür ist Blinkist total genial! Es wird auf das Wesentliche reduziert, die Blinks sind gut verständlich, gut zusammengefasst und auch hörbar! Das ist super. 80 Euro für ein ganzes Jahr klingt viel, aber dafür unbegrenzt Zugriff auf 3000 Bücher. Und dieses Wissen und die Zeitersparnis ist unbezahlbar.

Ekaterina S.

Extrem empfehlenswert. Statt sinnlos im Facebook zu scrollen höre ich jetzt täglich zwischen 3-4 "Bücher". Bei manchen wird schnelle klar, dass der Kauf unnötig ist, da schon das wichtigste zusammen gefasst wurde..bei anderen macht es Lust doch das Buch selbständig zu lesen. Wirklich toll

Nils S.

Einer der besten, bequemsten und sinnvollsten Apps die auf ein Handy gehören. Jeden morgen 15-20 Minuten für die eigene Weiterbildung/Entwicklung oder Wissen.

Viele tolle Bücher, auf deren Kernaussagen reduziert- präzise und ansprechend zusammengefasst. Endlich habe ich das Gefühl, Zeit für Bücher zu finden, für die ich sonst keine Zeit habe.
