The Perfect Job Doesn't Exist, But Here's How To Find True Happiness At Work

Stop Searching For The 'Perfect' Job And Do This Instead

Everyone dreams of landing the perfect job that fulfills dreams, allows time for a personal life and offers a feeling of accomplishment at the end of the day. Unfortunately, perfection is pretty unattainable when it comes to work -- or anything in life.

Louis Efron, a writer who has examined the search for happiness in the workplace, joined HuffPost Live to explain what we should really be looking for in a job.

"As idealistic as it may be that everybody have that job they love, the perfect job, it's not reality," Efron said. "The goal is to find a job that connects with your strength and your purpose and what you really love to do, and ultimately that will give you a job that you really, really enjoy doing."

But what are the practical steps to aligning your work with your purpose? Efron explains his findings in the HuffPost Live video above.
