Just
as Jim Autry's first book showed the business world you can create a humane
workplace, his new landmark book should make it clear that life goes hand-in-hand
with work and ideally there is no division. A brilliant work."
-Harvey
MacKay, Author of Swim with the Sharks Without Being Eaten
Alive
"Autry
has done it again. Life and Work is even more profound and
far-reaching than his earlier books. It simultaneously manages to be practical
and poetic, hardheaded and touching. This is an exquisitely balanced guide
for today's leaders and managers."
-M.
Scott Peck, Author of The Road Less Traveled
"Freud
said that a contented life needs love and work equally. Grasping that, James
Autry has made a wonderful book of his ruminations. As always, he spreads
a clear, entrancing light into the murkiest of subjects -
ourselves."
-Roger
Rosenblatt
"A
wise and poetic book about the business of living. Read it and
reap."

Keen

"You
have another winner on your hands."

"Once
again Jim Autry has made a terrific contribution to understanding the complex
life of a manager in the 1990s. This book shows wisdom, a deep understanding
of people, and a business savvy that helps us all understand the softer,
more intangible side of business. Jim stands with the best in mentoring in
American business."
-Bob
Rosen, President, Healthy Companies
"What a warm, insightful and thoroughly practical book! Jim knows that love
is the tough-minded emotion in the world and illustrates that better than
virtually anyone I know."
