Reviews

‘I was expecting this book to be about intrinsic rather than extrinsic motivation, but it goes deeper. I really like these philosophies, which can be applied equally to your professional and personal life.’ James Montgomery, VP Engineering, Hiber Global ‘I really enjoyed this book, which has parallels with modern psychology and ancient philosophies. The explanations of honesty, awareness, clarity, courage and authenticity were useful and practical, and reading the case studies took me back to the coaching sessions with Julia.’ Miguel Ferreira, freelance software and system engineer ‘Julia has a vast knowledge of how the human mind works, drawn from her many years as coach and trainer. This is reflected in this inspiring and readable book. It will not only prompt you to rethink your work environ­ment but spur you into action. Highly recommended for anyone who works or has ever worked.’ Lieke Hallegraeff, Global Impact Lead, FinDock ‘This is a useful and readable book for engineers who want to thrive rather than just survive in modern engineering organisations. I learned a lot from Julia’s HACCA model and use it every day.’ Joep Piscaer, TLA Lead, TLA Tech
