As you say Joel, this isn't about quitting every time something goes wrong. When that happens, it is your responsibility first to try to make it work. But sometimes, there are enough factors outside of your control that quitting is the right choice. Now for practical advice, the blog linked in this post as tons of great advice and you should add it to your feed reader. My own advice: find your passion, a project that really excites you. That's the best way to be happy at work. Point #3 of the manifesto: My happiness at work is my responsibility. As you say Joel, this isn’t about quitting every time something goes wrong.

I mean this Happy At Work Manifesto is full of good thoughts and nice life visions, but nothing practical about how to improve our condition on a daily base. We just can't quit every time something goes wrong. You probably reach the bottom of sadness with your last job, but before that, how would you try to make your life at work better?
