Penny Locaso calls bullsh*t on the many ways we sacrifice our happiness at the altar of conventional success. 

 

As an executive, entrepreneur and businesswoman, I was appalled at just how many of these I had succumbed to in my quest for 'success'. 

 

From the busy-ness BS to an obsession with 'doing' one of the most liberating moments of this book is learning that inefficiency is an absolute must for creativity and innovation.

 

Hacking Happiness is the modern guide to re-defining success and living a life we love.

Just when we need some optimism - Penny's book comes along with simple but highly effective tools for feeling good, building community and developing resilience.

 

This book was always

necessary - but it feels

even more valuable in 2020

and going into 2021​.

'Hacking Happiness' challenges us to think about success and happiness differently….

From the opening which frames the classic hedonic treadmill through to a series of exercises that encourage us to see the journey of skills and uncertainty as being more important than the pursuit of any one goal, Locaso wants us to enjoy life and reframe success in a way that makes our work much more enjoyable and sustainable.

 

Readers are likely to not only be happier, but by seeing adaptability as a crucial skill in happiness, they are going to be better at the work they choose to do. Success can truly equal happiness with a little intentional adaptability!

"The irony, when it comes to change, is it's often not the act of change we are afraid of; it's the fear of what we have to lose or give up as part of the process."

I love this quote from the author, which sums up where many of us are at right now.

 

Penny's book challenges us that growth happens when we address what we are avoiding and embrace what makes us uncomfortable.

 

There are so many tools and strategies in this book to help do exactly that. Warm, insightful and something I'll keep coming back to time and time again. ​
