A joy to listen to
I was a touch sceptical about a book titled the joy of work, it felt like an oxymoron. This book is about more than that. It's a well researched collection of ideas we can all use to do great work, that yes, brings us joy.

Practical, accessible observations & advice
I found this book to be a very simple to follow accessible practical set of thought-provoking suggestions. Some were timely reminders, others were new news, but all were sensible and very doable.

Some helpful tips
Being a teacher for 25 years, there are some ideas in the book that just won’t work. Eg. Taking a proper lunch break. However, this shouldn’t put you off the ideas being useful and of substance. As a relatively new business owner with a small team, there are some interesting insights and transferable tips for employers to use in the workplace.
