Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu, Translation Sam Torode and Dwight Goddard.

"Stress and Health at the Workplace-A Review of the Literature" by Mariam SohailMariam, SohailAbdul,ChaudharyRehman (Journal of Business Studies Quarterly 6(2015):3) This review of the work stress literature provides us detailed information about work stress, its reasons and its physical and psychological effects on the health of an employee. Famous stress models or theories are evaluated critically to explain the work stress and its health related outcomes. Our notes: The DCS model was proposed by Peter Warr in 1987 as a model for studying job stress. The model divides work stress into three dimensions: Demand: The mental, physical, and emotional commitment required by a job. A job with a high psychological load can bring great stress to employees. Control: The degree of control that employees have over the content, progress, and method of their work. Jobs with high job control reduce stress levels in employees. Social Support: The support that an employee receives from work colleagues, supervisors, and family and friends. Jobs with high social support help employees cope with stress.

The Art of Happiness at Work by The Dalai Lama, Howard C. Cutler MD, B.D. Wong Over the past several years, Howard Cutler has continued his conversations with the Dalai Lama, asking him the questions we all want answered about how to find happiness in the place we spend most of our time. Work-whether it's in the home or at an office-is what mostly runs our lives. We depend on it to eat, to clothe and shelter ourselves, and to take care of our families. Beginning with a direct correlation between productivity and happiness, Dr. Cutler questions His Holiness about the nature of work. In psychiatry and according to the Dalai Lama, our motivation for working determines our level of satisfaction. The book explores three levels of focus: survival, career, and calling. Once again, Cutler walks us through the Dalai Lama's reasoning so that we know how to apply the wisdom to daily life. This practical application of Buddhist ideas is an invaluable source of strength and peace for anyone who earns a living.
