How do you do you have a positive experience at work? Caroline Webb has an answer. She has bounced around a few different careers, but has now focussed on psychology of the workplace. Having a good experience is often a personal decision and effort. We need to look at situations from others' perspective. Assume they are suffering from bad situations rather than bad people. We also need to make sure out body is in a good condition to act. The proper amount of sleep is important. Putting in more hours at the expense of sleep can make things worse. Food is also important. The way we communicate can make a load of difference. If we take time to relate to others, our working experience will be improved. Look at the positives in what others are doing and guide them to improve. This tends to have much more success than straight criticism.
This book is primarily an amalgamation of available research rather than new work. Most of the topics are covered in other works. One of the key value-adds is the illustration with anecdotes of the theory in practice. It is well organized and practical, though at times a little superficial.
