Harvard Business School professor and author, Teresa Amabile, describes her research
into what makes people happy, motivated, productive, and creative at work. Using stories
from her own life and from the diaries of professionals working on creative projects
inside companies, Dr. Amabile explores inner work life -- the emotions, perceptions, and
motivations that people experience as they react to events in their work day. Her research
team discovered that, of all the events that can deeply engage people in their work, the
single most important is making progress on meaningful work.
