Don’t Just Take Our Word for It...

“The world so needs this book right now. It informs, inspires, and teaches people how to overcome the negative self-talk, the limiting beliefs they have about themselves and the world, and other debilitating legacies that … get in the way of them succeeding in their careers.”

– Jack Canfield, author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series of books

"I cried from the very first page. Not from sadness—although that was part of it—but from the discovery that I am not the only one going through life still affected by a past that I thought I put behind me. Those of us who have become leaders in the workplace, once you’ve learned what I now know from having read Healing at Work®, you will deepen your understanding and compassion for your teams and yourself. What a blessing it is to discover that you're not alone in this. We’re literally all in this together."

– Laurie Shakur, Head of People, Rakuten Advertising

"From the very first examples, through sharing personal stories, to assimilating thoughtful research, and to offering useful tips and tools, this book captures my head and heart. It is not just for those who have had damaged pasts (ASDPs), but for everyone wanting to live up to their full potential. There are an abundance of many specific, actionable ideas that will have personal impact."
