Business has been done, and done again. But as times have changed we have not always. Having fun at work is not a new concept, it's just frowned upon for some baffling reason. As if by some magical court a law was passed declaring that anyone who has fun at work will by definition not be working hard enough. Must we be miserable in the place we spend most of our lives? We think not. And here are our thoughts on the subject.

The Opposite of Happiness is...
Boredom. Not sadness. This is taken from "The 4-Hour Workweek" which, while I am thoroughly enjoying the read, had some flaws and some brilliant revelations. More to follow in a complete review for BAHRA.
One of the shining elements of the book is its focus on making your NOW enjoyable instead of waiting for someone else to do it for you, or for some magical chance element (lottery, retirement, inheritance, leprechaun, etc.)
We spend far too much time in our jobs to be so miserable all the time. And should you be unable to reduce the actual time you spend in your office to 4 hours a week, perhaps you should think about transforming your dreaded drive to work, and your cubicle of desolation, to places you actually like to be.
