1. Don't label "good" or "bad"
If something bad happens, don't beat yourself up. Realize what happened, but don't judge. Try to do what you have to do without losing peace and tranquility.

2. Develop "extreme resilience"
By "extreme resilience" the author of the book means the ability to quickly recover from trouble. You should not waste time on fruitless self-flagellation and looking for the guilty ones. If you are stress-resistant, it will help you quickly recover from setbacks and continue to do great things. At the same time, the author of the book specifically stipulates that if you fully follow his first advice (not to perceive events as good or bad), then you will not need to develop such resilience in yourself.

3. Forget about resentment
Forgetting grudges is a key step to happiness at work, Rao is sure. You should consciously stop stirring up the past, and even if it is not easy, then over time it will start to work out.

4. Don't waste time being jealous
“When you envy others, you admit that the world is too small and there is no success left for you in it.” And he advises just to be happy, because what happened to a colleague will happen to you either at this job or in another company.

5. Look for the meaning of life in yourself, not in work
Of course, you can fantasize about a job that pays well, where you do something socially useful, working with brilliant and pretty colleagues and also returning home for dinner. The author of the book warns against looking for such an ideal job, even if it exists. Instead, he proposes a change in attitude towards life. Don't think of yourself as an HR manager at a bank, but see yourself as someone who helps other employees provide for their families.

6. Don't think of people as robots
Most of the time we evaluate other people in terms of what they can do for us. And therefore, for example, we are very friendly with the leaders, realizing that they can help us. Don't evaluate your colleagues in terms of what role they can play in your career, but treat them as people. And help them, because that's what we came into the world for.

7. Think back to where you were 10 years ago and imagine yourself 10 years from now
Most of the problems that kept you awake 10 years ago are gone. And most of what worries you now will also seem funny in time. Understand this truth and it will open up new perspectives.

8. Forget the subjunctive
Many of us are corrupted by the subjunctive model of happiness. We are confident that we will get it if we take the position of CEO or if we receive a dollar salary with five zeros. “There is nothing you have to achieve or do to be happy,” the author writes.

9. Focus on the process, not the result
“The results are completely beyond your control,” writes Rao. You will only be disappointed if you focus on what you want to achieve and not on how to achieve it.

10. Think about other people
If a good guy gets passed over, he can still excel and be successful. “I challenge the assumption that being merciless to others is essential to survival in the corporate environment,” Rao writes.

11. Stop doing many tasks at once
According to the author of the book, the simultaneous solution of many tasks is an obstacle to happiness at work. This means that you do many things badly at once and spend more time on it. Instead, Rao advises working on each of the tasks for 20 minutes, gradually increasing these intervals to 2 hours. In addition, he advises turning off all gadgets that may be distracting.
