Reviews

"Whistle While You Work was not written by a dwarf, but by a giant in this field. I love it." - Richard N. Bolles, author of What Color is Your Parachute? "This book inspires us to remember that the essence of every calling is a summons to serve." - Walter F. Mondale, former United States Vice President "If there is a central tenet to work in the new economy it is this: work is personal. We all spend too much time, exert too much effort, and put too much energy into our work not to have it matter. Put simply, here's a book that will help you make sure that your work matters - to you and to others. Don't just read it; take it to heart." - Alan Webber, Founding Editor, Fast Company magazine"
