Read excerpt
A few days ago, myself and 20,000 people were in Porto, Portugal for Happiness Camp. Author and professor, Nir Eyal, put a question on the screen that followed me home: Where are you suffering? Now ask why.My mind went straight to the little sentences we carry around about ourselves. In my book, Be Yourself at Work, I call them bumper stickers and tattoos. Such as, I’m not smart enough.
