Reviews

""Jessica has done something rare: she's created a practical framework that honors both business realities and human dignity. She shows us how to build work that serves eudaimonia rather than demanding eudaimonia serve work."" * Dart Lindsey, host of Work for Humans Podcast * ""A genuinely though-provoking read that that really makes you re-think how we build & sell work as a product to employees as if they were our customers."" * Adam Horne, co-founder, Open Org * ""A book that tackles the heart of why we work in a time when what work looks like is in total flux. I found this deeply personal, yet practical and useful."" * Ben Branson-Gateley, CEO & Co-Founder, CharlieHR *
