“Once someone tells me their functional position, I, somewhat naïvely, probe a bit deeper. I ask, “So what does that mean a typical day looks like ... what do you spend the most time doing?” This is where I get into the far more interesting and revealing parts of each person’s story. ... asking someone to reconstruct yesterday is a better lens into their happiness than simply asking them if they are happy overall.” — Tom Rath
