Most people have acquired extensive knowledge about many topics. Some individuals, for example, know that bubbles in Guinness beer seem to sink to the bottom rather than float to the top like every other beer. Other individuals may know that French fries originated in Belgium, Michael J Fox's middle name is Andrew, the pupils in goats' eyes are rectangular, the first US cheerleaders were men, and Fidel Castro once worked as a Hollywood extra. Despite this wealth of information, fewer people are informed about a topic that affects every facet of their lives: how to choose the best workplace. Where Should I Work? Using Psychology to Get Your Dream Job helps the reader do just that. This is important since hundreds of characteristics and features of organizations affect not only an employee's job satisfaction, but also their wellbeing. Thus, in the right organization people cultivate a sense of meaning and purpose in life, and consequently they become more likely to fulfill their goals, extend their skills, enhance their reputation and improve their friendships.
