197: The journey to Workplace Happiness with Rob Dubin

Do you want to help create a happier workplace?

In the latest episode of the Happier at Work podcast, I sat down with the inspiring Rob Dubin, a renowned motivational speaker and advocate for employee happiness. Rob brings a wealth of wisdom and insights on the power of gratitude, happiness boosters, and meditation in fostering a fulfilling work life. 

Rob sheds light on the feel-good chemicals like serotonin, oxytocin, and dopamine that are released when we engage in gratitude and happiness-boosting practices. Over time, these practices become associated with feeling good, making them easier to maintain as habits.

Rob's optimistic mindset played a crucial role in his survival during a harrowing snowstorm, highlighting the importance of cultivating optimism and spending energy on finding solutions. He shares invaluable advice on cultivating eudaimonic happiness at work, including setting boundaries, leveraging strengths, and finding purpose in what we do.

Rob's insights are a powerful reminder of the profound impact that happiness and fulfilment can have on our work lives. By adopting strategies for happiness and finding purpose in our daily work, we can create a more engaged and productive workforce.

The main points throughout this podcast include:

• Debunking misconceptions about material possessions bringing long-term fulfilment and emphasising the importance of pursuing eudaimonic happiness, which is more sustainable than fleeting pleasure.
• The importance of cultivating optimism and spending energy on finding solutions. 
• Invaluable advice on cultivating eudaimonic happiness at work, including setting boundaries, leveraging strengths, and finding purpose in what we do.
