This week (1/05/09 through 1/11/09) on Work Matters I thought we'd talk about how to make 2009 a happier year.

Honestly, are you happy at work? At home? In life? As satisfied as you may be, would you like to be happier in 2009? Find out how on the show this week. In an expanded Uncommon Sense segment, my colleague Beth Pelkofsky and I discuss results from a "National Happiness at Work" survey which identifies eight workplace happiness factors.

Then I explore the concept of happiness further by talking with renowned success coach and best-selling author, Michael Neill. His new book is Feel Happy Now.

You could also find more happiness on the job in 2009 by reading my latest book "Hitting Your Stride", available on Amazon.com.

Finally, make me happy by telling me what you think of the show! Contact me with any questions or comments at workmatters@nanrussell.com
