Recenzje

"I have had the incredible privilege of the last few years to partner with the amazing Simon Dolan and he remarkable colleagues. He has a knack of exploring today’s hottest topics in innovative and relevant ways (future of work, values, technology, etc.). This work on how to de-stress is both timeless (he brings in the decades of theory and research on stress) and timely (he offers specific tools for individuals and organizations). I hope you will find this book and his ideas as helpful as I do."
