You, Unleashed

(is that too cheesy? I’ll stand by it.)

Welcome from Nick Wignall’s The Friendly Mind newsletter!

It’s great to see you here. I thought I would take a few moments to orient you. First:

• I started the Happy Lawyer Project 2 years ago. I’ve interviewed 100 lawyers in depth, and I’ve spent hundreds more hours analyzing the data, developing the framework, and then distilling it down to only the most important things.

• I’m in the middle of writing The Happy Lawyer book. I’m hopeful it will release in summer 2023.

• To tide you over, here are the major patterns observed among Happy Lawyers and Miserable Lawyers.

• Here’s the happiness assessment I’ve created (it’s based on a mixture of general and specific life satisfaction as well as affect questions) and here’s the rationale behind it.

• Here are the rest of the Happy Lawyer articles I’ve written.

The book is still being written, and so arguably I should have waited to sponsor the newsletter, but as a (very) longtime reader of Nick Wignall’s, I was happy to support his work by sponsoring his newsletter. It’s really made a different to me over the years and so I’m happy to contribute to its ongoing success. I’m glad you enjoy it too.
