Happier Professionals: Stories and Tools to 
Find Meaning, 
Prevent Burnout, 
and Thrive at Work

By Frven Lim

Work doesn't have to make you miserable.

If you feel drained at the end of each day-questioning if your career still reflects who you are-you're not alone. Many high-achieving professionals push themselves to succeed, only to find their health, motivation, and joy slowly slipping away.

Happier Professionals offers a different path. Through 12 transformative modern-day parables and a companion set of reflective worksheets, this book invites you to pause, recalibrate, and rediscover what truly matters. Whether you're a creative, executive, entrepreneur, or team leader, these stories reveal how small shifts in mindset and behaviour can lead to more purpose, energy, and fulfilment in both work and life.

Inside, you'll explore:

The "Rubber Band" story that illustrates the danger of overstretching yourselfWhy success doesn't always feel like success ("Is Your Ladder on the Right Wall?")The mindful antidote to burnout and autopilot livingThe parable of the $1,000 screw-what expertise is really worthHow to distinguish between a job, a career, and a calling

Plus over 30 worksheets to:
