Work Can Be Fun—But It Won’t Happen on Its Own

Ok—if you haven’t heard by now, I’ve got a book coming out in April called Work Is Fun. The premise? Work can be fun—but it won’t just magically happen.

There’s no single formula for loving what you do. But one thing is obvious: if you’re intentional about making work more enjoyable, it’s way more likely to happen. Like anything else—getting in shape, learning a skill, actually replying to emails—fun takes effort.
