At The Book Publicist, we’re delighted to be working with Lord Mark Price on his latest book, Work Happier: How To Be Happy & Successful at Work.
Happiness at work is more than a nice-to-have – it’s a business imperative. Research from Oxford University shows that happier employees are 13% more productive. Workplace happiness is also closely tied to mental and emotional wellbeing, with engaged, supported, and valued employees less likely to experience stress, disengagement, or burnout. For Gen Z, workplace satisfaction is particularly critical, with 70% saying they would leave a job if they were unhappy.
Drawing on decades of leadership experience and insights from over one million people globally who have taken the WorkL Happy at Work test, Mark offers a practical, motivational framework to transform work life. His book argues that workplace wellbeing shouldn’t be a perk—it should be a right.
At the heart of Work Happier is the Work Happiness Charter, which sets out ten rights and ten responsibilities everyone should expect and uphold at work. From the right to be recognised and respected to the responsibility to show up with effort and honesty, the Charter is backed by global research, employee surveys, and thousands of case studies conducted through WorkL, Mark’s workplace happiness platform.
Whether you’re an employee seeking more fulfilment or a leader striving to build a thriving team, Work Happier equips readers to:
- Understand their own happiness drivers
- Improve their current role or make a positive change
- Measure workplace happiness across six pillars, from recognition to wellbeing
- Build a culture of respect, autonomy, and pride
Mark emphasises that happiness at work is a two-way street: “Employers must create a supportive environment, but individuals must take responsibility and play the starring role in nurturing their own sense of fulfilment.” His accessible guide is relevant to anyone at any level in any organisation—from the boardroom to the shop floor.
