Subject: Ideas wanted for book on happiness at work

Hi

I need your help: I'm currently writing a book about happiness at work.
The book is directed at both managers and employees, and should give the
reader a better understanding of what makes people happy at work, as
well as a lot of practical tools to use.

If you were reading such a book, what would you like to see in it? Drop
me a comment if you have any ideas - good or bad :o)

The reason I ask this question on this list, is that I believe there is
a huge overlap between opening space and being happy at work, and the
book will explore that, as well as many other themes.

Oh, and here's a bonus challenge: Can you give me a better phrase than
"happiness at work"? In danish we have the word arbejdsglaede meaning
workhappiness. I find it interesting that this word exists in danish
(and swedish) and not in, say, english, french or german.

The book is part of my "happiness at work" project, a non-profit, open
source, open space organization that promotes happiness at work (more
info here: http://www.kjerulf.com/projectshappinessatwork.htm).

Cheers

Alexander
