“You must be the change you want to see in the world.” Gandhi. I’m living the happiness and well-being practices I am prescribing to others. Happiness requires a routine. A couple of activities a day is all it takes to make you happier. Jot down 3 things I am grateful for. Email a positive message to someone. Meditate for 2 minutes. Exercise for 10 minutes.

Today I attended the Singularity Summit in San Francisco. The opportunity to hear Temple Grandin, Stephen Pinker, and Daniel Kahneman was irrestible. We’re halfway through and I am disappointed. Temple Grandin was great but I had read and heard a much of her message before. Traditional learning styles are bunk except for autistic people who do have their own style.

People with positive emotions are more engaged in their work, produce more, sell more, and lead more fulfilling lives. Yet most businesses sweep emotion under the rug. Businesslike means methodical, practical, and unemotional. Emotion in the workplace is similar to informal learning: it’s undeniably important, it’s pervasive, and it has not been on anybody’s agenda.

I’m attending KM World virtually for the next two days. Presentations are being screened live. I’ll see recordings of part of this: the gun goes off at 5:45 am Pacific and I don’t do that for anybody. The speaker line-up is great. JSB. David Weinberger. Dave Snowden. Awesome thinkers and explainers! Here’s the program. Back-channel: “Follow us before you get to the event at @kmworld and be sure to use #kmworld in your tweets from the conference.

Last month I asked how happy you were at work. This is what you said. You guys who entered “1″ are probably depressed. Get some advice or ask your doctor for antidepressants. I’m going to leave this survey open. Go ahead, how happy are you ?

The Roman god Janus looks ahead and looks backward at the same time. So do you and I. Your past is what makes you you. When you look back on your past, how satisfied are you with your life? 1 = life is yucky. 7 = life is great. Pick a number. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7. Did you pick your number? C’mon.
