Praise
"In his book, Brave New Workplace: Designing Productive, Healthy, and Safe Organizations, the professor of organizational behaviour argues we should focus on creating environments in which employees can flourish, rather than relying on the resiliency of workers to withstand difficult working conditions.”
Toronto Sun
"The book is an important contribution to the organizational science literature and should prove to be especially valuable to "real world" professionals seeking to fabricate all-around better places to work."

"Julian Barling’s book has been revelation for me. I’m not one to read nonfiction cover to cover, but I enjoy dipping into Brave New workplace almost daily. … I especially like the sections on when things (like belonging, meaning, autonomy etc.) go awry, and “in Case you are Not Yet Convinced.”
