Trade ReviewA truly inspirational, user friendly book written with a genuine desire to gently guide each reader to self-examine how they affect others and examine how others affect them in their personal and professional relationships.... This book is a great teaching and development aid, suited to the classroom or the workplace; short exercises could be used for lesson planning or personal development plans. The book is sensitively written; at the end of each chapter there are two boxes one is 'A moment to reflect' and the other 'A moment of humour', with some extraordinarily pertinent quotes that are charming. This is a modern tool box of resources which can help you to refine your skill and enhance your awareness of yourself and others. * Nursing Times *
