ABSTRACT
It feels good to be happy, and people are predisposed to seek-ing happiness. ”ey do so in all aspects of their life, and work is no exception. People seek out careers that they think will make them happy, and they do work in them that they think will make them happy as well. We prefer to work with people who make us happy; other chapters in this book make the point that we like to avoid those who bring out negative emotions in us. People seek out happiness in all kinds of ways. Even the delay of grati—cation is itself associated with some measure of happiness and satisfaction, and the anticipated future outcomes are presumed to make us happy as well in some way. One way or another, all people try to create happiness for themselves.
