Christina Glavas: beyond happiness – how to develop well-being at work

We can train well-being through four skills: mindfulness (being present in the moment), connection with others, insight into our own thoughts and emotions, and a sense of purpose in work. When we practice these skills regularly, we improve our baseline level of well-being, leading to more frequent moments of happiness—not because everything is perfect, but because we become more resilient and at ease with ourselves.
