—— Paul Bloom, Professor of Psychology at the University of Toronto and author of The Sweet Spot

It's hard to believe that a book so insightful about how we can flourish at work is also this funny and raw.

—— Eli J. Finkel, Professor of Psychology at Northwestern University

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.

—— Matthew D'Ancona , Tortoise

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.

—— Nihal Arthanayake, BBC Radio 5 Live

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.

—— Matthew Taylor, Chief Executive, Royal Society of Arts , RSA Bridges to the Future

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.

—— Rory Sutherland, Vice Chairman, Ogilvy UK and author of Alchemy

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

—— The Indicator , NPR

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

—— Diane Coyle, Bennett Professor of Public Policy, University of Cambridge

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.

—— Times Higher Education

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.

—— Publishers Weekly

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

—— Thomas Friedman, author of THE WORLD IS FLAT and THANK YOU FOR BEING LATE

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