The Happy Lawyer: The Blueprint to Avoid Burnout and Put Together Your Good Life Personally and Professionally

Have you ever had that nagging sense that you should be happier? Like you have everything you need to be happy but somehow you’re not putting it together?
Well, guess what: You’re not alone. For many lawyers and professionals like you caught in the demands of busy lives, it’s hard not to get lost in the routine—living the successful life but with this unshakeable feeling that life was meant to be more than this. Maybe you’re like I was and feeling this persistent angst that who you are is slowly suffocating inside. Perhaps you have no passion for what you do, but you enjoy the life it affords you and you’ve resigned yourself to this reality.
It doesn’t need to be this way. Enter the two-year Happy Lawyer Project, spanning interviews with 100+ lawyers, and hundreds of hours of research, analysis, and development, all aimed at trying to answer one question:
—How do we, as busy lawyers and professionals, become happier?
It turns out that the happy lawyers had a number of things in common—key ingredients they all shared. Unhappy lawyers shared some of those ingredients, but were missing others. The problem is that there’s a recipe for happiness and, whether intentional or not, the unhappy lawyers haven’t followed it.
This book covers:

• The key ingredients that happy lawyers all had in common.
• The practical approach to putting it all together.
• How to ensure you avoid burnout along the way.
