About this audiobook

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.

    As usual, Marcus masterfully invokes that desire and pathway for finding your strengths and loves and also how to put them to work. This time he takes it a notch higher by providing tools for scaling these loves in our organizations as well. This is a great read for parents too as it will help you help your children find live out their strengths and loves
  • 5/5
    I've read many of Marcus's books - this is a masterpiece from the heart.

    "First, Break All The Rules" launched me on a journey, not into the unknown, but somehow into a world that, though completely new to me, was strangely familiar. I had this feeling that I was on the fringe of some great realisation, and that a blinding flash of insight was just around the next corner (or book).

    It's been years since that first encounter in 2008, and now, 14 years later, "Love and Work" pulls together so much it almost makes one's head spin. Only it doesn't because it All Makes Sense.

    We can wish we had this years ago... What might we have done differently?! But that doesn't matter a bean. What does matter is what we do next.

    As Marcus says at the end of the book, it's over to us.
