Rethinking Your Work: How to Create Spirit at Work

Spirit at work is about being fully engaged in work and finding meaning and fulfillment through work. It involves profound feelings of wellbeing, a belief that one's work makes a contribution, and a sense of connection to others and common purpose. Individuals with spirit at work report enhanced personal wellbeing; improved work relationships; and increased personal and organizational productivity. Everything changes with spirit at work.

Rethinking Your Work: How to Create Spirit at Work provides a blueprint for solving the pressing issue of job satisfaction and fulfillment. In this home study, Val Kinjerski, PhD, a leading authority in the field, shares findings from a decade of results-based research, supplemented by the latest findings in the field of positive psychology. This timely and important research shows that anyone can be inspired at work. What matters most is not what work you do or where you work, but how you think about it. Spirit at work is available to everyone and can and should be fostered.

Research proves that by simply rethinking your work, you can have a profound sense of well-being, renewed enthusiasm for your work and increased job satisfaction.
