Have you ever wondered what made happy people happy? And what about what made unhappy people unhappy? Truth be told, I’ve wondered it a lot. I’ve had good reason to. Over the 12 years of my legal career, I’ve spent quite a lot of time unhappy. I didn’t want this to be my life.

So I committed to coaching and to Leader Rising. I’ve been making progress.

But some time in 2021, I had a big idea. I was going to write a book. A book that would help lawyers everywhere get happier, so that they didn’t need to go down my deep rabbit hole to get there.

And thus was born my dream of the Happy Lawyer book.

As of the time of writing, I have completed 75 interviews of lawyers - happy lawyers, miserable lawyers, and lawyers in between. Some have been in private practice, others in-house, and a few had left law altogether.

I pulled out patterns from among the happy lawyers and miserable lawyers.

And I’ve taken these patterns, mixed them with my ~500 hours of coaching clients, as well as with my own life experience and the wisdom I’ve taken from many of the top personal improvement books, and I’ve created …. (I hope you’re doing a drumroll over there 🥁):

The Happy Lawyer Happiness Model.
