The vice president of Twitter Europe and host of the top business podcast Eat Sleep Work Repeat offers thirty smart, research-based hacks for bringing joy and fun back into our burned out, uninspired work lives.
How does a lunch break spark a burst of productivity? Can a team's performance be improved simply by moving the location of the coffee maker? Why are meetings so often a waste of time, and how can a walking meeting actually get decisions made?
As an executive with decades of management experience at top Silicon Valley companies including YouTube, Google, and Twitter, Bruce Daisley has given a lot of thought to what makes a workforce productive and what factors can improve the workplace to benefit a company's employees, customers, and bottom line. In his debut book, he shares what he's discovered, offering practical, often counterintuitive, insights and solutions for reinvigorating work to give us more meaning, productivity, and joy at the office.
A Gallup survey of global workers revealed shocking news: only 13% of employees are engaged in their jobs. This means that burn out and unhappiness at work are a reality for the vast majority of workers. Managers--and employees themselves--can make work better. Eat Sleep Work Repeat shows them how, offering more than two dozen research-backed, user-friendly strategies, including:
Go to Lunch (it makes you less tired over the weekend)
Suggest a Tea Break (it increases team cohesiveness and productivity)
Conduct a Pre-Mortem (foreseeing possible issues can prevent problems and creates a spirit of curiosity and inquisitiveness)
"Let's start enjoying our jobs again," Daisley insists. "It's time to rediscover the joy of work."
"Originally published as The Joy of Work in Great Britain in 2019 by Random House Business Books"--Verso.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Introduction -- Recharge: twelve performance-enhancing actions to make work less awful -- Sync: eight fixes to make teams closer -- Buzz: the ten secrets of energized teams -- Epilogue: #LoveWhereYouWork.

Most of us are unfilled at work. Daisley has become fascinated by what makes people happy at work-- and what doesn't. Here he offers research-based hacks that all of us can use for making work better. He empowers workers to take back control over their lives, and start enjoying their jobs again. -- adapted from jacket
