Adopting the metaphor of talent liberation, the authors offer a path forward for talent management better fitted to projected trends concerning the future of work. I found the use of cases and the explicit identification of practical implications for HR departments, leaders, and individual employees especially useful. In addition, the book sets out to help bridge the scientist-practitioner gap in talent management, another issue that is hindering the field from progressing forward.
