Are you dumb? No, you're not. So why is everyone always giving you advice like "Work smarter, not harder" as if you're waking up every day trying not to?"Find a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life." Perfect, now how do you put that into practice?Enjoying your job isn't just about having fun. People who enjoy their jobs are more successful and any joy you feel on the job spills over into the rest of your life as well. Work can be one of the biggest drivers of positivity in your life overall. The problem is that no one ever explains how to work differently day-to-day. Whether you're frustrated at work or simply looking for better ways to do a job you enjoy, Your Grass Is Greener offers an actionable guide to improve the work you already do, using techniques you already know. Each chapter reframes a common workplace challenge and provides a tangible tactic you can put to work right away.You'll learn how to:
  • Do five days of work in four (without working until midnight)
  • Enjoy your day-to-day work more (without changing jobs)
  • Progress faster (without waiting for a promotion)

Jason weaves his own experience navigating the landscapes of fast-growing companies like Airbnb and pioneering ventures in Artificial Intelligence with proven methods from neuroscience, psychology and more to simplify the single most impactful tactic you can try. Through relatable anecdotes from employees at every level, he highlights the most common challenges professionals face and offers a clear roadmap to overcome them. Your Grass Is Greener is not about how to redefine your cosmic purpose or find a new job you're somehow supposed to enjoy for the rest of your career. Instead, it's about how to transform your underlying approach to work so any job you do instantly gets better. Just imagine how it would feel to avoid frustrating miscommunications, speed up slow decision making and advance your career faster while enjoying it more along the way. You don't need that dream job. You already have it.
