“It is extremely rare to find a leadership book that takes a holistic perspective to success and thriving. This book is just that―its thoughtful and grounded content spans the mind, the body, and behavior, all designed to maximize positive impact. This is a must-read book for all leaders, but especially first-time managers.”

“Dr. Granger has written a rare kind of leadership book; scientifically rigorous, heartfelt, and highly practical. He draws on disciplines as diverse as organizational psychology, neuroscience and quantum physics, weaving them into familiar corporate challenges with warmth and clarity. I found myself fully immersed, gaining new perspectives that will stay with me long after reading. This is a must-read for anyone who believes leadership skills matter more now than ever.”
―SARAH MARRS, Center of Excellence Global Lead, Awardco------------------------------
“In this highly practical book, Ben Granger weaves together business case studies, scientific research, humorous anecdotes, and homespun wisdom into an enlightening and engaging guide on how to be a leader who not only brings out the best in those they lead, but also in themselves.”
―STEVEN T. HUNT, PhD, i3 Talent LLC; Former Chief Expert, Workplace & Technology, SAP; and author of Talent Tectonics, Common Sense Talent Management, and Hiring Success------------------------------
“What sets this book apart is Ben’s ability to pull insights from diverse areas―evolutionary psychology, neuroscience, physics, leadership studies―and combine these into unique frameworks for your own leadership. Ben writes with humor, humility, and authenticity, peppering his lessons with some good ole Cajun seasoning that makes the book feel like a lively conversation. He can make you laugh one moment and rethink your leadership philosophy the next.”
