Summary
  • "Workplace positivity expert Shola Richards (Making Work Work) explores a radical new concept for rethinking our personal, professional, and social lives: togetherness."--
  • The African philosophy of Ubuntu embraces the belief that we are universally connected to each other. Richards suggests it could transform the way we treat others, making us kinder and more respectful to others, on and off the job. He believes that the illusion that we are more different than similar is eroding our ability to truly live a productive and satisfying life. Discover how this simple concept could change our own behavior-- and the world around us. -- adapted from back cover.
