At least in my experience this is nonsense.
The circumstances of my work make a large difference to my happiness. I know because I've been in a number of different circumstances and my happiness has varied greatly.
- themitigating 4y agoHappy or less annoyed? I find when I was truly happy I cared less about external influences. For example, if it's hot, a person is annyoing, someone almost hits me with a car, or it my manager wants me to do something boring. So maybe what some people think are the sources of their unhappiness is actually just making their unhappiness more obvious.

- bumby 4y agoI’ve always liked the phrase “money can’t buy happiness but it can make you less miserable.” I think the main idea is that there are certain circumstances that can bias you into an unhappy state, but merely removing what makes you miserable isn’t enough to make you happy.
