Empathy for personal and professional success!

The author does a wonderful job of explaining how empathy counter intuitively gets YOU what YOU want! It’s a total win-win scenario and he explains it from many different angles. along with the Happiness Advantage, it's one of my favorite books, it’s an website must read as far as I’m concerned!

Thoughtful, well written and read

Loved the stories that backed up the research! Recommend this book to employees, employers, marketing people, and customers!

Must read!

There are so many books on people, business and success, but this book hits on all of these with an appreciation for empathy, the most important human skill. Recommend for every person who leads in life!

Outstanding!

Wasn’t certain where this narrative would go but absolutely loved this book. Brenney delivers a deeply important message for each of us as individuals and, by extension, to our organizations. Perhaps the most timely message we can invest in today as well.

No depth

This book is repetitive and has almost no content. I was hoping for good tips on improving corporate culture but there was little to no value there.
