It's safe to say that Sharon Salzberg[1] , a New York Times Best selling author and leading teacher of Buddhist meditation practices, has a pretty good idea of how to go about finding peace and happiness in day-to-day life.


Her new book Real Happiness At Work [2] focuses on improving working life with practical tips and strategies to increase mindfulness and job satisfaction.


She joined HuffPost Live host Josh Zepps[3] and Senior Religion Editor Rev. Paul Raushenbush[4] to share some secrets to being happy in the workplace.


"I think a lot of people expect to find happiness at work from what they'll find, rather than from what they'll bring," she said. "And I think we have to start paying much more attention to what we can bring, to any job that we might be doing."
