Love has been driven out of our workplaces. How do we get it back in?

We're in the middle of an epidemic of stress and anxiety. Average life expectancy in the US is down. At work, less than sixteen percent of us are fully engaged. In many high-stress jobs such as distribution centers, emergency room nursing, and teaching, incidences of PTSD are higher than veterans returning from war zones.

We are getting something terribly wrong. Our workplaces fail utterly to provide for or capitalize on one of our most basic human needs: our need for love.

As Marcus Buckingham shows in this eye-opening, uplifting book, love is an energy, and it must flow. It demands expression—and that expression is "work." There's no learning without love, no innovation, no service, no sustainable growth. Love and work are inextricable.

Buckingham first starkly highlights the contours of our loveless work lives and explains how we got here. Next, he relates how we all develop best in response to another human being. What does a great work relationship look like when the other person is cued to your loves? Finally, he shows how you can weave love back into the world of work, and how to make this a discipline for the rest of your life.

Love + Work powerfully shows why love must come first at work, and how we can make this happen.

Bought this after listening to the diary of a CEO podcast, was disappointed as I thought it would go way deeper into things but the depth was basically the same as the podcast

Love + Work is a book that we all need now.

What really resonated with me are the 'red threads' - those activities in our day where time flies by and we feel energized and fulfilled. They are unique to each one of us, and they are interwoven with other threads (not every activity we do can be red). But, we must have those red threads every single day.

Love+Work combines practical exercises with sound research and personal anecdotes. Asking yourself the questions posed throughout the book gives you insight into what brings meaning into your own work. The book has influenced me already, in terms of me acknowledging my own red threads and therefore how I structure my day, how I think about my work, and being able to recognise what is unique in me and what I do.

Although useful at any time in your career, I think this would make a wonderful gift for a new grad - someone just starting out on their career.

Inspirational, revelational and frightening at the same time…

Marcus’s best book to date.

The core thesis about the power of doing work from a place of love is both radical (returning to the source) and such common sense, but sadly all too rarely experienced.

This book weaves together several strands from his previous books and integrates them into a new and very practical framework to equip you to figure out what you love in your work and how to do more of it.

As much a manifesto as a how-to guide, personally I’m both motivated and scared to fully embrace what he’s arguing for, as to seek love is to open yourself up to the possibility of pain.

Becoming aware that you loathe the work you do and that there’s little to no potential to do it with love is something I know I’ve found soul crushing in the past, and am struggling with right now.

So while I know what I need to do,
the thought of it is deeply disturbing.

But if I want to do more than just survive, then at least the path has been made clear.

Thank you, Marcus, for showing us how.

Brilliant book from one who knows the data

I started a consulting career 20 years ago in part because of Buckingham's book "First, know all the rules". So inspiring. His last book is brilliant when it comes to understand what makes on more resilient, performant, healthy and happy. The book is interwoven with his personal story, I guess few on Earth have seen more relevant data than M. Buckingham and he has the courtesy to tell us what is crap and what we should retain. And the last chapter on Colleges / Education etc. is a bit of a surprise (What has education to do with organizations) but a must read for all Bildung interested parties. For all of us interesting in improving their contribution and leadership in teams - a very rewarding read! And my first post on Amazon since it started.
