"An excellent handbook for anyone working in health care who has the desire to integrate soul into their personal and professional lives. Provides both a conceptual framework and many techniques to bring soul into our health care organizations." (Michele W. Campbell, principal, Clarion Consulting Group) "All too often the health care industry embraces fads and quick fixes to heal its wounds. This book refocuses us on fundamentals: igniting and connecting the energy of people within organizations. Whether you call it 'soul' or some other name, this is a time-tested strategy to help organizations succeed and people find joy in their work." (Mara Melum, president, Minerva Leadership Institute, Inc.; author, Breakthrough Leadership) "Authors Linda and James Henry have succeeded in demystifying soul as a value-adding strategy for health care professionals. They have made a strong business case for soul as providers struggle with reconnecting, rationalizing, and improving health services. Health consumers stand to benefit from provider organizations' blending the traditional remedies of efficiency with the new medicine of 'soul.'" (Steven L. Ummel, principal and national advisor on integrated delivery systems, Ernst & Young LLP)
