Originally Published March 28, 2022. Let’s take a deep dive into the power of intentional happiness with an expert on the subject—Eric Karpinski. Today we are going to explore practical habits like gratitude journaling and conscious acts of kindness that not only enhance your well-being but can also transform workplace cultures. Tune in to learn how science-backed strategies can lead to greater engagement, productivity, and most importantly, happiness, both in life and at work.
Eric once followed the societal formula for happiness—work hard, succeed, and then find fulfillment but realized that this relentless pursuit left him anxious and depressed. After turning to positive psychology he found that happiness doesn’t stem from achievements alone, but from building meaningful habits, fostering connections, and balancing life with gratitude and kindness. His discoveries also led him to write The Seven Principles of Happiness, where he advocates for an “action buffet” approach—sampling different habits to find what works best for individuals and teams.
Eric Karpinski has been on the cutting edge of bringing positive psychology tools to workplaces for over 10 years, with clients that include Intel, Facebook, NASA, IBM, T-Mobile, Genentech, Eli Lilly and many others. Eric is a key member of Shawn Achor’s GoodThink team, trained as a scientist at Brown University and has an MBA from the Wharton School. In March 2021, McGraw Hill published his book, Put Happiness to Work: 7 Strategies to Elevate Engagement for Optimal Performance, which has been endorsed by Adam Grant, Shawn Achor and Daniel Pink. He and his wife are also work-advice columnists on Psychology Today.
