Work is emotional. But the foundational fiction of jobs - that they are separate from the people who do them - causes grief and frustration every day. The gift of this book is to help us understand who we are, who our co-workers are, in the round, as flesh and blood, not economic units of production. It can help managers and the managed, bosses and the bossed, to find in work and in each other the humanity and warmth, growth and forgiveness that this crucial part of our lives deserves.

Wise and illuminating... A must read for those who care about the human side of work, which should be all of us.

A Miracle of a book...Captivating... I couldn't put it down. As Carl Jung once warned, "when an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate." People would do well to not leave things to fate but have a serious look at this book.

A great book, packed with insights and evocative human stories.

Nobody understands the everyday madness of working life better than Naomi Shragai. This book should be read by everyone who ventures anywhere near an office.

A completely compelling guide to the inner psychological workings of our jobs - brilliantly enlightening and incidentally a vital survival guide.

This is a fantastic insight into the childhood self we thought we left behind but actually brought into work by accident. A great guide to understanding yourself and others better. Life-changing.

Work and life are separate, right? Not at all, points out journalist Naomi Shragai in this brilliant book. A fascinating and life-improving book that might just change your (work) life.

This exceptional book brings together, in rare combination, deep and compassionate insight into individual psychology with a sophisticated understanding of working life in organisations. It will be a source of wisdom for managers everywhere, but also for anyone interested in human nature

Ultimately, this is an honest and moving account of both client and coach experience. If you enjoyed Yalom's Love's Executioner, you may well enjoy this, and who knows, maybe one day this book will be regarded as the coaching equivalent of that classic text?

Icarus rebooted: the man who achieved human flight. Truly inspirational.

Starting with Tupperware and sticky tape, Richard Browning was determined to reach for the stars... as this engaging book shows. Interspersed throughout are lessons you can learn from Browning's success.

In this superb book, Gillian Tett - Editor-at-Large at the Financial Times - applies the lessons of her doctorate in anthropology to the world of business and, more generally, to social behaviour and trends . . . There are many reasons to read Anthro-Vision, but the most compelling is its liberation of [its] analysis from the often phoney and banal punch-ups of today's culture wars.

A really interesting read. Increasingly, businesses are understanding that we can change our attitudes to things - be better at managing people, managing ourselves, and become more profitable - if we do not take a myopic view of culture.

Fantastic . . . A wonderful book and I recommend it. It will help you think about the world differently, but it will also help you think about yourself differently. A very entertaining exercise in a kind of social and cultural mindfulness.

Deliberately listening to other people and taking on their perspective is a rare skill, and a powerful tool . . . For readers, this book offers something more valuable: the opportunity to consider how truly strange we all are.

Wonderful . . . [on] that anthropological skill of looking at things from the outside.

Full of examples that make you see work and business differently.

A rattling good read . . . The book has loads of interesting vignettes about the use of anthropology, particularly in business.

Tett's examples of research are vivid, surprising and imaginative; their revelations are informative . . . Tett's book is lots of fun and could even create a few business converts to the anthropological cause.

It's hard to argue with her common-sense case that companies should strive to take an outsider's view . . . Packed full of insight, this has the power to change minds.

I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed reading this book . . . A terrific piece of work.

A compelling, readable argument for the business value of anthropology.
