Employees should take pride in their work, but how necessary is it for them to be "happy" in their job? Career coach Amina AlTai, who specializes in holistic leadership and mindset coaching, joins Wealth to help redefine the concepts of "happiness" and "contentment" in regard to one's job and work.

"Happiness is an emotion and is therefore fleeting, they're supposed to be changing all the time. So when we grip on to happiness as if it's supposed to be stable, that's where we get into trouble," AlTai says. "And so contentment really in Eastern traditions is this prized state, and it's about unconditional wholeness."

The Amina Change Your Life Podcast host and The Ambition Trap author implores jobseekers to find work that helps "cultivate that contentment" that also aligns with their own values, especially one with mental health and well-being support systems.
