The book argued against the common misconception that success requires sacrificing happiness, instead suggesting that happiness and success are mutually supportive.
And she's the author of an intriguing new-ish book called The Happiness Track which I just listened to and is really, really good.

I write about this in my book The Happiness Track.

The central thesis and I don't want to - I hope I'm not mistating this - is what I said before that you need happiness in order to succeed. It's not that the two are across purposes.
The book is about this misconception that we have that in order to be successful we need to postpone or sacrifice our happiness somehow.
