Reviews

[Russell D · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love the distinctions drawn out to explain why so many people are unhappy in their careers and the ways that employers perpetuate the dissatisfaction. This book is a wake up call to be mindful in our approaches to relationships and balancing the need to do the right thing when two apparent truths are at work. Wisdom goes beyond mere knowledge and inner knowing.
