This work is a first attempt to chart a path to joy in the workplace.

The direction as drawn out includes four important steps. One is to identify and use a small group of peers as a social support network to help you in this quest. Second is to use methods and skills to deal with co-workers. Third is to develop strategies for personal motivation. Fourth, and of equal importance, is to use ideas to improve the working environment. One major assumption underlies what we present here and that is that you, not your boss or your co-workers, are responsible for your happiness at work. Joy at work is designed to help you use skills and strategies to develop personal responsibility for self-care and to help you maintain that attitude on a day-to-day basis.
