Imagine your life as a startup. How would you lead it to be most successful?
That’s the question at the heart of The Happiness Files—a collection of enlightening, practical essays by Arthur C. Brooks, the bestselling author and globally recognized voice on living a meaningful life. Through his columns in The Atlantic and his books From Strength to Strength and Build the Life You Want (with Oprah Winfrey), Brooks has inspired millions with his blend of wisdom and real-world guidance.
His answer? Manage your life to create the most valuable rewards: love, enjoyment, satisfaction, and meaning—in other words, happiness.
Join us for a live taping of the award-winning “HBR IdeaCast” podcast at Harvard Business School’s Klarman Hall. Editor at Large Adi Ignatius will sit down with Arthur C. Brooks to explore how we can design more happiness into both our work and our lives.
