“This book presents a unique interdisciplinary blend of psychology, neurology, philosophy, sociology, real-life case studies, and a critical review of the methods and instruments used to assess work identity. Professor Adamsen’s broader take on work identity are invaluable additions to the talent management and human resources literature, and much like the author’s previous books, this one will indeed be lauded as a seminal, landmark work in the years to come.” (Daphne Halkias, Professor and Distinguished Research Fellow, Ecole des Ponts, ParisTech Business School, France)
“This book is the light switch in a darkened room. Professor Adamsen’s ability to explain why people are stressed, disengaged at work from contemporary neurophilosophy, psychology and sociology is so enlightening that it gives us a coherent understanding of the reality of 21st century work. For those of us feeling lost in our work, this book provides the compass to our personal true north. Applicable science at its best.” (Warren Kennaugh, International Author, Speaker & Consultant)
