Research has shown that 5 changes can make Americans happier at work: changing your mindset, becoming actively engaged, eating lunch outside of the office, smiling more, or changing career paths. Unlike the world's happiest countries, the United States tends to associates the workplace with negative connotations, which can be damaging to overall productivity. Additionally, leaving the office for lunch and smiling more have been shown to make workers more relaxed and happy. By staying engaged, workers can eliminate the boredom that they may associate with their job. Lastly, if a worker is truly unhappy, they should consider switching their careers altogether.
