Are your employees feeling exhausted, cynical, or just tuned-out? Do they frequently check their phones in meetings, and seem especially uninterested to hear about the next important organizational change? Ill too often or for too long? These are some of the classic warning signs of disengagement. In a perfect world, work should do so much for us. It should lend us purpose and a sense of meaning, offer us structure and stability. But invariably, something goes wrong - many employees have to pull themselves over the fence each day at a job that is burning them out.

It's been six years since the book was published. A lot has happened in the leadership and work space since then, and as an executive myself, I find that the developments align with the recommendations in this book. This speaks to the book's relevance and foresight.
Many organizations have indeed started to prioritize employee wellbeing and engagement, COVID-19 has forced us to work remotely, we do have more free time, and if we are to trust Gallup's reports—engagement has increased from 13% to 16%.
The book discusses the concept of "Mincome," - minimum guaranteed income. There's a growing interest and a number of experiments already. Multiple countries have implemented pilot programs to explore the impact of basic income on reducing poverty and enhancing economic stability. For example, Spain's Ingreso Mínimo Vital and the GiveDirectly initiative in Kenya have shown promising results in improving financial security and well-being. This growing body of evidence underscores the potential of Mincome to address economic inequality and provide a safety net in an evolving job market as Mrs Catrinescu suggests.
I personally don’t read "victim mentality" anywhere in the book as one negative review highlights. I read a healthy dose of challenging mainstream management practices, and if we are to throw "victim" as blanket statement on all of the books that do that there would be no progress.
The critic’s suggestion that "happiness and engagement at work" are more about individual “mindset” than external factors is an incorrect generalization. It overlooks the complex interplay of individual mindset and systemic factors in the workplace - exactly as the book highlights. Research shows that while personal mindset is indeed important, systemic factors such as workplace culture, leadership styles, and job design significantly influence employee engagement and satisfaction. It's not solely about the individual's mindset but also about the environment in which they operate.
The only shortcoming that I can see is the subtitle of the book—it doesn't really reflect the content accurately. But for the rest, as a Head of People, I found this book useful.
