Recenzje

'[Geller] is a master of being able to translate empirically based academic research into easy-to-understand language that is suitable for the layman. This book uses real-world examples to supplement the lessons from behavioural science and shows that [Geller] hasn't lost that happy knack of producing work that rises above the psycho-babble of the self-help industry and to continue to shine a light on how to make our workplaces safer. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to know more about 'why people do the things they do' and how to shape workplace and community cultures for the better.'
