How to Be Happy at Work: A Practical Guide to Career Satisfaction
It’s not easy to tell others how to be happy at work, especially people who feel as if they’re living in a career combat zone. I know the battleground well. For the past 20 years, I’ve been a
career counselor, psychotherapist, and corporate outplacement consultant. In that time, I’ve seen more casualties of the career wars than most people experience in a lifetime. I know what it takes to be happy with your work. But I also know there’s no simple formula to achieve career success and satisfaction. The workplace is chaotic.
If you’re like most people, you probably feel that you’re living a career nightmare: working harder to make a living with fewer available resources, more demands on your time, and lots of disincentives to achievement. Perhaps you fantasize about chucking the whole scene. Right about now, life on the golf course, ski slopes, or a sandy beach can look mighty appealing.
Maybe you just need a good, long vacation. You don’t want to drop out of the workforce altogether, but you’re hungering for a new adventure. You want more control over your time and your
destiny. Your rallying cry is More Freedom, Less Office Politics! To be truly happy with your work, you must forge a path that fits your needs and life goals. No one is going to hand you the perfect career on the proverbial “silver platter.” The issue, as psychiatrist Thomas Szasz tells us, is not whether or not you’ve found yourself; it’s whether or not you’ve taken the time to create yourself.
Freud once identified “work” and “love” as the two greatest sources of human happiness. For me, this book has been a true labor of love. If it helps you make fulfilling life and work changes, it will have done its job and I, too, will be well satisfied.

From Old English to Standard English.
A Course Book in Language Variation across Time
This practical and informative course book leads the student through the development of the language from Old English, through Middle and Early Modern English to the establishment of Standard English in the 18th century.
At the core of the book is a series of nearly two hundred historical texts, of which more than half are reproduced in facsimile, exemplifying the progressive changes in the language. The book is firmly based upon linguistic description, with commentaries forming a series of case studies which demonstrate the evidence for language change at every level - handwriting, spelling, punctuation, vocabulary, grammar and meaning.
Various activities are offered throughout the book to encourage the students to study data at first hand, using texts and facsimiles, and to consider possible reasons for what they observe.
Most of the chapters that make up this book are based on papers presented at the workshop ‘Transnational Flows: Methodological and epistemological issues’, Oslo, 6–7 June 2001. The workshop was organised by the research project Transnational Flows of Substances and Concepts, which is directed by Marianne E. Lien and supported financially by the Norwegian Research Council in the period 2001–04.
Chapter 2 is adapted from the introduction to a book edited by Ulf Hannerz. Published only in Swedish (and entitled Flera f?lt i ett) the book showcases the breadth and scope of current transnational multisited research at the Department of Social Anthropology at Stockholm University. The references to Hannerz’s Stockholm colleagues generally refer to chapters in the book, and offer an insight into some of the accomplishments made, and some of the methodological problems encountered, in this pioneering research environment.

Professor Dr Willy Ley, the well-known scientific writer and friend of Wernher von Braun, told me in New York: 'The estimated number of stars in our Milky Way alone amounts to 30 milliards. The assumption that our Milky Way contains at least 18 milliard planetary systems is considered admissible by present-day astronomers. If we now try to reduce the figures in question as much aspossible and assume that the distances between planetary systems are so regulated that only in one case in a hundred does a planet orbit in the ecosphere of its own sun, that still leaves 180 million planets capable of supporting life. If we further assume that only one planet in a hundred that might support life actually does so, we should still have the figure of 1-8 million planets with life. Let us further suppose that out of every hundred planets with life there is one on which creatures with the same level of intelligence as homo sapiens live. Then even this last supposition gives our 'Milky Way the vast number of 18,000 inhabited planets.'
