This format did not translate well online. I have a great interest in all things "mindful" and will be purchasing this title as soon as possible. It was simple, relatable, and very relevant to what we deal with in the workplace. I'll be sharing it during our staff meetings.

I really enjoyed this book, definitely a lot of “food for thought” in it. I didn’t read the book cover to cover I really dipped in and out of the chapters that I felt were of interest to me. I will be recommending this book as a read for my work colleagues so thank you for the review copy I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Adults spend much of their time either at work or thinking about work. No matter what the job or profession, people have feelings about their work, its setting, their co-workers, etc. In this title, the author encourages readers to think openly about what happens for them at work and how they feel about it. The author frames this exploration through mindfulness. Readers are encouraged to take a non-judgmental approach and to listen to the voices inside. They do this through a series of suggested activities and meditations. I found it interesting that the author encouraged looking back to how attitudes were formed, for example, having readers think about their first educational experiences, how they were prepared and what it was like.

This book could be helpful to many. If a reader is contemplating change, this title will help to explore it. If a reader comes to feel that they can make their current work well for them this is encouraged as well. In each instance, the author guides readers to do what they feel is best for them.

Many thanks for the publisher and NetGalley for this title in exchange for an honest opinion.

This is a self help book which is free of complexities.

It is for masses. As most of us are employees. Following few enterpraneurs and leaders.

Book is about ever so touchy employees who seek to change job frequently instead of trying to sort out problems at workplace.
And their continuous search for a delightful job lands them into frustration.

But mind it, that it is not a technical book.
It is more of a spiritual take on this problem with focus on mindfulness and acceptance.

Writing is simple, cohesive and informative.
Even real life examples and dialogues of fictional boss and employees are given.

Author says one should observe without judging and allow instead of controlling.
Try to enhance positives and try to avoid competition.

Also tips about conflict resolution and effective communication.
Overall a useful book to earn a fresh look on your job and trying to love your old, hairy, grumpy, tepid job.

Thanks netgalley and publisher for review copy.
