As a professional in Human Resources, this book really hit home, and should for anyone - not just those who share the same profession as me. It offers substantial evidence of the benefits to having a "giver" reciprocity style and offers many tools, tips or resources to visit in order to impart some of these traits in your life, whether that be personal or professional. One of my favourite quotes: "People are able to work much harder and longer when they gave their time and energy due to a sense of enjoyment and purpose, rather than duty and obligation." --- we often hear of many people whose job is "just a job" or "it doesn't do it for me". It reinforces the ideas of finding something you are passionate about and pursuing it. If elements of your life/career do not fit this, try and incorporate them into your job as he suggests through "Job Crafting", or... find something new. Great book. Looking forward to reading Originals by Adam Grant in the future.
