Eat More Ice Cream By Michael Brret Hood

Each chapter is about a different situation in which you can be a better leader to your followers and provides examples of bad leadership. The author of the book, Michael Bret Hood spent 25 years as a special agent for the FBI along with being a supervisor and a leader in the FBI.

In my work that I do today I would have to consider myself to be a follower because as a certified nurse assistant, you are pretty much at the bottom of the totem pole. There are so many people above you in which you have to take orders from and just spend your day doing what other people need you to do. It can be very stressful at times and after reading this book, it has given me a better understanding about how to make my day at work

    I was able to make a lot of connections with this book to my parents careers. One idea that I have been taught my entire life is that having a positive attitude can change your perspective on any situation and this book reaffirmed what I have learned throughout my life in that regard. Another topic that I discussed in the paper was cutler's idea of striking a balance between challenge and boredom in the workplace. Another topic that I discussed is it difference between a job, a career, and a calling. I found it interesting that a positive attitude can make job into a calling. Another topic that I found extremely interesting is that the money we make has a great impact on how we view ourselves. The final topic that I covered in my review of The Art of Happiness at Work was how people identify themselves through their work. After reading this book I still believe that the meaning of life is to be happy. I believe that they be happy in life a person must be happy with their…
