ThornedEmbers thorn thanks for your response and input but I’m talking about the grander scale . This is what people do like yourself , they use isolated cases and say oh well not all people are like this . Wouldn’t you agree that over 90 percent of diseases can be cured by higher standards of eating habits and physical activity ? I’m curious what percentage you think

- Take a reasonably good job and craft it into an amazing job that we feel as truly ours - Follow your guts when it comes to finding good and caring colleagues and bosses - Try to do what you are better at - Following your passion doesn't generally help because only 5% of passions are work related - Book some time to keep pursuing your dreams even if they are not work related

This talk makes me appreciate my job. I'm a long term substitute teacher with a GREAT boss, supportive coworkers, and a good schedule. It definitely makes up for the fact that my pay is less than stellar. I feel bad for everyone who hates their job, because people spend so much time at work they deserve to love it.

It's TRUE. You can be around people who don't love their job, and still love yours. If it feels your needs to be productive then you just try to show them how they can love it too. Happiness is contagious.

Someone else loving the job absolutely does not rub off on you if you are just tolerating it. Most people hate their jobs because it's corporate top down. punishing, and low paying.

I became a quantity surveyor because a very successful friend of mine was one, and I was miserable and hated my job. Then my life has completely changed since I fell in love with property development and started working as a developer-side project manager - I enjoy every minute of my workday and am extremely proud of myself and what I do ❤

Thank you Mr. Lopez. That was very helpful! I'm now going back to work a part time 'job' out of 10 years of disabillity. Something that hopefully suits me and my limited capabilities. Good colleagues and an understanding boss are absolutely the most important things. After thinking about it long and hard, i don't really care what it is i'm doing either. I might have to let go of the dream of being a gardener/nursery employee alltogether and do something else now. Sometimes it's better not to stick with what you were hoping for and chose another path to happyness. I know all about how aweful a perfectly good job can be with terrible colleagues and a helicopter boss/manager. I will not deal with that again.

No matter how much you love your jobs, you have to work in environment that you are allowed to thrive...Work place politics is real. Jealousy, competition, bias, business needs and secret agendas is a hinderance to thrive...

What a great talk and full of truth! Worthy jobs are not found, they are made and you can design and architect yours.

I’m so glad I dedicated 22 minutes of my life to watching Dr. Shanon! It was very enlightening and totally matches my experience. Amazing!

Brilliant! So, well said. Thank you so much for sharing.

The cake mix story will always remind me how amazing people think. Thanks great presentation.

There are many talks on this subject, but this one struck the right chord in me somehow. Thank you!

This is what i call an effective speech,unlike the rest,this guy just sticks with the subject,not wandering around,showing great examples,and approving my thoughts on this,and widening my view.Great way to show to others your way of thinking on this matter,and i thank You now wherever You are,for i learned a few things from You sir.

What comes to mind, is the different personality types. An extrovert will surely be happier in a job more suited for an outgoing personality, vs an introvert or someone who prefers more of a one-on one-interaction.

Your positivity resonates with the topic you’re sharing with us, that being said, thank you so much :)

Great guy. Rest In Peace Dr. Lopez

I can never settle in a job because I love variety and having lots of nice down to earth people around me. My ideal thing would be teaching in second world countries and making international friends etc but I need to find somewhere to settle at home eventually. I used to love my degree in engineering but then finding out that it's just an office job hurt so much. I worked at a top company but my passion faded. My boss was really nice to my face but never helped me or addressed any issues then became two faced behind my back and wrote the worst things about me and made me leave the company. I'm glad to leave but I hate the unfair justice

Totally Agree!!! I want to love my job, so I will create it!

Dr Lopez used to work with Gallup, studying workplace dynamics as it relates to disengagement. The numbers are pretty much the same in late 2019 as they were in June of 2015 with 85% of employees not being engaged at work. This is an epidemic. Shane offered antidotes. His passing came much too soon :-(

Your supervisor appreciates your hard work and you are happy and you love your job. SO, YOUR BOSS MAKES YOU HAPPY IN YOUR JOB.

Moses Godwin Joseph No, I have to contradict this. I had a job, where my boss, my colleagues and my patients appreciated me very much - and it still made me sick one day and I had to leave. The people you work with and for are one point for contentment, but not everything.

we need more of these people in the world goddamnt

This is truly an amazing idea about how to create your dream job😊

Gracias TED!!!!❤

It seems he was working on a new book about this that was to be titled, “Dream Jobs are Made, Not Found.” Not sure if anyone has come across a copy of the manuscript. Not sure how far along he was before he passed away. This talk is such a great preview of what that book was likely about. I only just discovered Shane today, while doing research for a book I’m writing. Immediately, I thought that I need to reach out to Shane and interview him, only to find out he passed away several years ago. God bless his son Parrish, who has since also lost his mother 🙏

Awesome. The day I took responsibility for my job, the day I decided to OWN my job/my position, that was The day I decided to risk being bright enough to do my job well instead of waiting for my boss to tell me how to do the safe minimum. That’s when my job got fun, joyful and profitable. If I had messed up, I’d have been fired or quit, but at least I would’ve taken ownership of who I was, and what I was doing.

I just got a new job. Don’t know if it’s a hit or miss yet, time will tell. But from day one I have this anxiety because of the work load and responsibilities. I go to sleep with worries and fear and I wake up the same way. I’m always in a bad mood and don’t have much appetite when I’m at work. It always happens to me with new jobs but sometimes this goes away after 2-3 months and sometimes it doesn’t. I try to listen to a lot of motivational speeches and it helps but then the next day it’s the same kind of feeling. I wish I was stronger and braver 😞

wow! I went to google him only to find out he died 3 years after this ted talk! What a shame he was still a relatively young guy! very interesting talk. I think it would have been interesting to also study what happens to 'unicorn' workers who love their jobs and are totally energised and lit up by it when they lose that spark - either because of a bad experience or because life gets in the way and they lose that thing that makes them sparkle. I used to be one of those unicorns and I wonder if the fallout from experience/life/redundancy etc hits people like me harder than someone who never had that. And are those people able to find that spark again? Would be an interesting study I think to play alongside this.

You might need to start over but that will take time. Be patient and realize you probably will never have somthing exactly the same but you will just need to carve out new and different things you can enjoy as much if not more than your old job. Good luck!

The book "The Dream Manager" is a great one!

This is absolutely excellent and accurate, and No 5 is crucial. I would have added developing mental/emotional flexibility. Why are too many current young millenials so resistant to this set of principles? Yes, they are. Doesn't matter their degree or schooling. As Dr. Lopez does, develop programs in schools to help prepare and really re-set young minds in this direction.

"I do enjoy myself.." - this guy 9:53 😳

Great to hear, however I am a new nurse, it’s dreadful what our superiors expect from us.and how they ride our backs and abuse their power. Thus the patient suffers and the owner profits tremendously.😞

What a description to call a boss a soulsucking happinessvampire. Probably they´re going to understand some day.

i realy love my job, i just hate what it pays

Why is he even speaking about this obviously , obvious stuff? Why is he even speaking about this obviously , obvious stuff? I hope he can stop repeating everything twice and telling us stories like a kindergarten Teacher.

Great job!

"Choose a job you love" and "Pursue your passion" are meant as broader prescriptions for your life's direction, rather than instructions about what particular job to take on. Sure, tailoring a good job to suit yourself is great, if you can manage to do that. But the point that Steve Jobs and Confucius make is that you don't want to be stuck in an area that you don't like, instead of the one you believe you were meant for, because then it doesn't matter what the details of. the particular job might be--you will still feel that you missed the boat.

I enjoyed listening to his speech and truly engaged throughout the presentation! From past experience to present, my job roles would usually be suited to my skills and knowledge of that role. Each after the next would be relevant to my last job, & required additional knowledge, etc., & increase in compensation. It's been & is a job or job industry that I do love to do. After reading the comments...it's really sad that he passed away so soon after he presented his talk...RIP.
