Yesterday’s Better Right Now program from the TBA Attorney Well Being Committee focused on findings from research regarding lawyer happiness. Professor Larry Krieger with Florida State University College of Law highlighted five elements that contribute to happiness: (1) realizing the experiences you truly need to be fulfilled; (2) emphasizing connection above competition or comparison; (3) experiencing joy, love and inspiration every day; (4) realizing that all achievement starts inside; and (5) improving rather than surrendering your health in your practice. Krieger also encourages lawyers to do several small things each day to take care of themselves. These can include breathing exercises, a quick walk or a music break. Materials are online
