Summary:
"We're in the middle of an epidemic of stress and anxiety. A global pandemic has wreaked havoc on our lives. Average
life
expectancy in the United States is down. At
work
, less than 16 percent of us are fully engaged. In many high-stress jobs, such as distribution centers, emergency room nursing, and teaching, incidences of PTSD are higher than for soldiers returning from war zones. We're getting something terribly wrong. We've designed the
love
out of our workplaces, and our schools too, so that they fail utterly to provide for or capitalize on one of our most basic human needs: our need for
love
. As Marcus Buckingham shows in this eye-opening, uplifting book,
love
is an energy, and like all forms of energy, it must flow. It demands expression -- and that expression is '
work
.' Whether in our professional accomplishments, our relationships, or our response to all the many slings and arrows of
life
, we know that none of this
work
will be our best unless it is made with
love
. There's no learning without
love
, no innovation, no service, no sustainable growth.
Love
and
work
are inextricable. Buckingham first starkly highlights the contours of our loveless
work
lives and explains
how
we got here. Next, he relates
how
we all develop best in response to other human beings.
What
does a great
work
relationship look like when the other person is cued to
your
loves?
What
does a great team look like when each member is primed to be a mirror, an amplifier, of the loves of another? Finally, he shows
how
you can weave
love
back into the world of
work
as a force for good,
how
you can use
your
daily
life
routines to pinpoint
your
specific loves, and
how
you can make this a discipline for the
rest
of
your
life
. Today, too often,
love
comes last at
work
, and we are living the painful consequences of this.
Love
+
Work
powerfully shows why
love
must come first-and
how
we can make this happen."--Publisher.
