ENDORSEMENTS

"It is only when we begin to experience our own truth and beauty that we are capable of recognizing these qualities in others. This book takes the reader on an archaeological dig of the most personal kind, dedicated to bringing forth the authentic self in the workplace. A stunning accomplishment!"

"Peppers and Briskin have written a creative guide for all who seek greater inspiration and soul in their work. This book is grounded in the principles of depth psychology and makes common sense use of working with persona and shadow issues in the wokplace as well as our personal lives. This book can truly provide a bridge between our inner lives and the work that we do in the world. It is no ordinary 'self-help' book, but a path for self examination and reflection, bringing nuggets of wisdom from many sources."

"Business leaders today confront a most pragmatic concern-the war for talent. Without authentic, soul-led, pasionate commitment themselves, leaders cnnot attract and keep people. Cheryl and Alan guide the reader first on the inner path to finding one's true voice and passion, and then offer wise counsel and simple but effective practice for taking soulfulness into the gritty world of inspiring people, managing roles and driving business."

"Today's institutions and our upbringing have not prepared us for htis new economy. Instead , we feel fragmented, rushed, unsatisfied. Cheryl and Alan offer practical ways for unearthing the lost abilities to see deeply, to be auhtrnetic, to listen soulfully. Armed with the disciplines they outline, the reader can discover the narrow and rewarding path that balances authenticity and role, being and doing, inteention and action."

"Bringing Your Soul to Work is written with care and an easy and compelling prose. Peppers and Briskin are bravely willing to face what is difficult and confusing in life and work and therefore very respectful to the reader. The book is a fine blend of spirit and practicality and if the reader has the will to do the exercises, they will find they will have given voice to their own story, which is the point of reading, anyway."

"What does 'soul' have to do with going to work every day? Everything, when traditional notions of work are transformed from employment (what we do) to a process of self discovery (who we want to become). The authors raise profound issues and offer practical insight about successfully embarking on a life-changing journey through the experience of work. This book is a highly evocative and deeply personal "field guide" to better understanding different, even difficult, parts of ourselves through what we do. It is a powerful dialogue that can help us realize more of our humanity by consciously reframing the role and purpose of work in our lives. The wisdom of this book makes a seminal contribution to anyone who wonders, "There must be more to worklife."
