Welcome to The Happy Engineer with Zach ...

Zach White
About this episode
In this inaugural episode of The Happy Engineer, I ask the question that bothers me every day: Why are so many engineers around the world frustrated? Burned out? Stressed to the point of sickness?

 

Why are engineers… unhappy? Something must change.

 

I’ll share with you my own story of how I hit rock bottom as an engineer seeking career success. How a single note brought my world to a standstill. Screw the five whys. 

 

And ultimately, how I went on from total failure to create bigger results in my career impact and income than I ever expected, while designing a life I love. At the root of my transformation is one concept you will learn all about - the COURAGE to be happy.
