    • Forget Work, this covers Happiness anywhere - the bigger picture!
One word summary for the book- “Process” We’ve all heard that “Life is a Journey, not a destination.” Dr. Rao examines the true power of this statement. While the beginning part of the book deals with the “at Work” scenario, he then dives deeply into Happiness anywhere, anytime. He reminds us “Passion does not exist in the job. – It exists in you.” At work, or not at work, it really doesn’t matter. Knowing this, why just focus on the work place? He teaches the Process to feel Happiness no matter where you are. That’s what we all really want anyway, right? Personally, I really appreciated and felt strengthened by the ideas presented. I liked the bold, directness of Rao’s “conversation.” He likes to throw a lead question out to you that you think you comfortably know the answer to, and then he’ll state emphatically “NO!”, and follow it up with great clarifying reasoning. He’s got a great mix of stories and examples to help explain the ideas he throws at us. The man has an incredibly extensive vocabulary that had me looking up words I had never heard or used before. Thanks! One of the main ideas in the book is simply Don’t Invest in the Outcome, Invest in the Process. Rao shows that our common “Mental Models” of “If this… Then that” is itself “fallacious”. For example, IF I get this to happen…THEN I’ll be happy. Rao reminds us that the problem of putting off our Happiness contingent upon the Outcome is that we surrender Happiness to something we can’t control. What a powerful insight! I am Happy to now know and understand these ideas of Rao’s: “The funny thing about mental models is that the more you invest in one, the more firmly you believe in whatever model you’re using, the more “evidence” you get that the universe actually behaves in the way you think it does.” “You may have changed physically (as you look back at your own life) but the principal difference between you now and you ten years ago is the particular items that appear on your if-then list.” “But you can set yourself free by recognizing that you’re merely playing a role that you have identified with and shift your focus to who you really are.” in relation to living in a ME centered world – “What is wrong is the notion that if you succeed in your particular rearrangement, you will be happier.” Definitely a book I’d recommend to anyone along any part of their path in life. Look for an ancient Eastern flavor to the lessons here. The basic premise that NO things will bring you deep happiness is liberating and a great reminder for all of us. Enduring satisfaction, deep bliss, whether at work or anywhere only comes from within. “Linking your emotional well-being to the outcome of what you’re striving for is a flawed strategy.” Instead, Rao suggests instead that “Whatever action you take, be consciously aware of who you are as you take it.” Invest in your Process of Prosperity and Happiness, be it at work – or along the path of life. By doing this, you’ll already “find the Outcome to your liking”. ... show more

    • Terrific!
I was concerned that this book might be a re-hash of Srikumar's earlier work and I couldn't have been further off the mark. Certainly some of the themes are carried forward into his new work and I found this characteristic to be most helpful as I had forgotten some of the sage wisdom he brings to the written word. I not only found this book helpful, I am recommending it to all of my freinds. Thanks Srikumar. ... show more

    • Great Book
"Happiness At Work" is a great book on personal happiness. If you are looking specifically for work related techniques....that is not really the focus. I would reccommend this book to anyone wanting to take charge of their own emotional/attitudinal well being. The chapters are short and to the point making it easy to ready and digest. I own his CD program but find this book offers easier access to his ideas and techniques. As a life long student of this type of material, the ideas and techniques revealed in this book are profoundly life changing, appear deceptively simple and deserve more of a fanfare. Keep this in mind when you read it. I've bought a lot of books and expensive recorded programs to uncover the disarmingly simple ideas the author presents so easily and openly for our use. Happiness is a personal issue that can be applied at home and work. His ideas and techniques work no matter where you are and where you apply them. A good book.

    • If I had to pick one self improvement book to recommend, this would be it
I have been reading self-improvement books for years now, and this by far is the best. I’ve read books by Wayne Dyer, Jack Canfield, David Goggins, the Dahl Lama, Norman Vincent Peale, Napoleon Hill, and countless others. They were all good, but something was missing. I always had questions. Something didn’t make sense.I always felt the need to read another book. Once I read this book, for the first time, everything made sense. Perhaps the others books laid the foundation for this book, but I feel like if I had read this book first, I would have read the other books as spice on the main dish rather than constantly feeling unfulfilled. If you’re bibliocentric, the lessons in this book fit in with Biblical (and other religious) teachings. This is the book I will recommend to anyone who asks a what ONE book do you recommend to find joy? ... show more

    • Halloween for the Mind
Srikumar Rao, a friend and former Professor of mine, wrote a beautiful narrative, illuminating many common, yet flawed human processes. This book is a distillation of many of the key concepts of his course, Creativity and Personal Mastery, of which I am a graduate. The course, and by extension the book, is an innovative synthesis and pragmatic refinement of spiritual truths that transcend tradition. Specifically, Srikumar succeeds in challenging the epidemics of positive thinking, judgment, and traditional notions of happiness and success, offering his readers more intuitive and sustainable life practices. Most valuable are the exercises in the book; they actually produce a radical shift in perspective and being - almost like a Halloween for the mind. Collectively they expose more harmonious and fulfilling ways of moving through life. I recommend this book, as well as his seminars and course, to anybody interested in upgrading their operation system and experiencing greater levels of fulfillment and performance in all areas of their life - to those curious about taking the lead in their own evolution. ... show more
