What readers say about The Joy of Working
The Joy of Working has been read by people with very different experiences of work, leadership, disability and change.
Here are some of their own words about the book.
The reviews are reproduced in the reviewers’ own words.
Room for everyone in the working community
Christian Borrisholt Steen, senior consultant at Krifa’s Videncenter for God Arbejdslyst (The Christian Trade Union’s Knowledge Centre for Success at Work) and former member of Det Etiske Råd (The Danish Ethics Committee)
“With her book “The Joy of Working”, Tina M. -L. Campbell has written a highly relevant book, which is guaranteed to inspire, console and encourage those who at times, struggle to find enjoyment in their work and who, because they have had a bumpy ride through life, sometimes may doubt their own potential. The book is also for those leaders who want to give more people a fair chance of becoming part of the working community. I strongly recommend the book to all those who are interested in working together to create a working environment that gives joy and satisfaction.”
A highly relevant topic in the context of social responsibility
Kurt Bennetsen, Head of Erhverv Norddanmark (Northern Jutland’s Chamber of Commerce).
“The book embraces the elements of UN Sustainable Development Goal 8 – Decent Jobs and Economic Growth and throws the ball into the court of your company and you as a private person to take responsibility and concrete initiatives to promote greater job satisfaction. The book may also be a help to personel managers and company managers who are motivated to help their employees.”
A beautiful and significant book about finding the joy of working against all odds
Mads Lindholm, business psychologist, Ph.D.
“Tina has written a rare and beautiful book about the joy of working. Many self-help books have been written on the subject, but this one is different. The book is based on the experiences of people who have met bumps in the road. In other words, it is based on the idea that you can thrive and find joy in working in spite of your lot in life and not because of it.”
Job satisfaction and belief in oneself prolong your life
Jens Lund Madsen, Manager and proprietor of Kølemadsen Refrigeration in Hirtshals and Skagen.
““The Joy of Working” took me by storm. I was completely absorbed from the first page and in the future, I shall be able to use many of the points from the book in my working life. The book also gives a good insight into what it is like to be physically or mentally challenged. I would therefore recommend anyone who has no experience in these matters to read the book. It has really helped me and removed some of my prejudices.”
Gitte Cannon
“This book is for everyone that struggles with fx purpose, lack of motivation and/or lack of confidence – some of the time or all of the time. It is well-researched and packed with concrete tools to make positive changes for everyone willing to give it a go. Most importantly, this book inspires to reader to WANT to give it a go, and the reason for that is Tina’s voice. Tina’s voice is genuine and personal yet professional, and her unbeatable spirit jumps from the pages and lifts your own..”
An uplifting book
Helene. Woman, mother, office clerk on reduced hours.
“The book is easy to read. It is an advantage that it can be used as a reference book. I think the subject that Tina writes about in her book is both interesting and important. The book really makes me want to work with myself. It encourages you to go out and find a job, but it is not only in the context of work that the book and the exercises are useful.”
Could The Joy of Working be for you too?
These words come from people with very different experiences of working life.
That is exactly why they mean so much to me.
I wrote The Joy of Working to offer reflection, encouragement and practical tools for those moments when working life becomes difficult – or simply needs to change.
Perhaps one of their words has made you curious. ❤️
