Review
"A timely and inspiring book that challenges us to rethink the purpose of business in society. It is all the more important because Dennis Bakke's personal life mirrors the principles he advocates."
- President Bill Clinton
"A must-read book for anyone who wants to make work fun, fulfilling, and financially rewarding."
- Jack Kemp, former HUD secretary and vice presidential candidate
"Joy at Work is simply the best book I have ever read about integrating human values and economic success. Bakke has changed the nature of the game of business forever. The book is an answer to our cynicism and materialism and to the loss of faith in our leaders. It is required reading for all who are in a leadership position, are studying leadership, or know someone who is doing either."
- Peter Block, author of Stewardship and The Answer to How Is Yes
"Dennis Bakke's book is a 'coaching manual' on how to make fun and success synonymous in the workplace."
- Mike Holmgren, coach of the Seattle Seahawks
