Work Healthy, Stay Happy

Days that start under pressure, back-to-back meetings, ups and downs in the afternoon and a mind that won’t switch off in the evening: for many of us, this is what everyday working life looks like. It’s little wonder that the mental health conversation has moved from the margins to the mainstream. Work Healthy, Stay Happy shows how mental, social and physical wellbeing can be woven into everyday routines – with guidance that’s practical, realistic and strictly free from moralising. Author and mental health advocate Dominique de Marné draws on scientific insight, personal experience and tools tested extensively in real working environments.

The book is written for professionals across all industries and levels who want to strengthen their mental, social and physical health, but lack the time (or motivation) to delve into conventional self-optimisation guides.

Structured around a typical working day – from the first coffee to signing out – the book shows how mental health concerns and challenges play out in everyday work. Three fictional characters – Lena, Sami and Felix – accompany readers through the book, making common patterns of behaviour tangible and supporting readers to recognise themselves and reflect on their own habits. Readers are offered concrete tools, strategies and real-world examples they can put into practice instantly, whether they work from home, in an open-plan office or in a hybrid setup.

Work Healthy, Stay Happy is an ideal companion for anyone looking to improve their wellbeing at work, strengthen their self-leadership, manage stress more effectively and contribute to a healthier, more modern workplace culture.
