By Charles Handy

He’s been an executive, a theorist, a management thinker, and a student of business all his life.

In this memoir the man who routinely blurs the boundaries between what we consider work and life asks us (and occasionally challenges us) to look at the role of work in our lives, and to ask ourselves what we truly find fulfilling—and why.

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE FOR PROJECT MANAGERS 
PM WORLD TODAY: "I found this book to be a well-structured, easy read that delivers results. Immediately after I started reading the book, I caught myself monitoring and categorizing my feelings in various situations throughout the day. Several times, I paused and rethought the way in which I was about to approach my team members, boss or assistant at work or my husband at home. True to its title, out of the many books dealing with the subject of emotional intelligence, this book is a worthy investment particularly for aspiring or current project management professionals."
