Full of enlightening case studies and uplifting accounts, this compact and highly engaging read is both relevant and optimistic. You’ll finish it in one sitting and find yourself returning to it often.

I've been looking forward to reading this book since I first heard about it and it did not disappoint. This really feels like important stuff, the human stuff I know I've missed as I drowned in a world of hard targets, forecasts and relentless goals. I've found myself longing to rediscover a sense of self amidst the daily slog, to feel human again and to have the possibility to share real human moments with those around me.This book speaks with a compassionate "human" voice, an important voice, a voice that left me feeling positive and especially motivated by the fact that such important topics are recognised and so carefully considered at this level.

What beautifully written and insightful book! My husband and I have read and i will send it to my boss as well as such an important area of thinking fir the workplace, especially in these odd times!

A thoughtful capture of stories, invitation to bring more compassion into the organisation together with amplifying the impact on the performance of an organisation is superb.

In a time where we have been isolated from each other, this book gives insight into the importance of the interactions we have with one another. Written pre-pandemic but so much more resonant now, enjoyed this read very much.
