"Happier" by Tal Ben-Shahar

I highly recommend everyone to read this book.
It focuses on "how to reach" happiness on your job, at work, in your private life and in almost everything you do.
In some way it relates to Lean, I think, because it asks us to focus on what we perceive our purpose "in accordance with our own values and passions". Ben-Shahar recalls Michel de Montaigne "The great and glorious masterpiece of man is to live with purpose".
To me, this means that we should focus on what brings happiness in life and eliminate the "waste" of what is superfluous, what happens to be in the middle of everything and that does not bring value to what we are trying to accomplish.
Thanks Antonio for suggesting me to read it.
