A 99% no-quibble guarantee if you use Anne de Jong's Lucky Routes. That sounds like too good to be true. In this episode of the Work Professor, Anne explains why it's not. By applying exercises and knowledge from psychology, you strengthen relationships and build happiness.

The relationship between having good relationships and happiness has been demonstrated by the longest-running study in the world, conducted by Harvard (see show-notes for a TED talk on this study). This is exactly why psychologist Anne de Jong focuses so much on relationships in her book 'The Happiness Road'. The book is written without scientific terms and jargon: "I wanted to write an accessible book for the general public, precisely because the subject is recognisable to everyone", according to Anne.

The route to where?

The route that Anne describes in the book has numerous turns and obstacles; you don't just get to a good relationship with someone. By means of exercises you can take the right turn and end up at the end station: smooth contact without frustration. Anne mentions a number of these exercises in the podcast episode, which can be directly applied in the workplace. Maybe even more important, also directly applicable to relationships with your (in)family for the upcoming Christmas dinner.

We know so much about human behaviour, but we hardly use this knowledge in our work. This is a missed opportunity. In De Werkprofessor, made by BNR & Wendy van Ierschot, recent scientific research into human behaviour is discussed in a lively dialogue with the expert & an entrepreneur.
