When a publicist recently reached out to me about the book I’m featuring today, I almost passed on it.
I was in a hurry (and I get a lot of requests). But then I reread the email and realized who the author and his company have worked with.

Folks like GE, Nike, Warby Parker, and many others. That prompted me to take a second look. And I’m glad I did.
The book in question is called Applied Empathy: The New Language of Leadership, and the author is Michael Ventura.
Michael is an incredibly smart and wonderfully insightful guy. I truly enjoyed his book.
