“Kids are Doing More Great Work”
"I love the book! Michael Bungay Stanier's solutions are so easy to put into place. Even my middle school students and members of my family and community have taken the bait to do great work. Highly recommended. "Do More Great Work" is so compelling, my students are connecting to each other in transformative ways. I am not an affiliate. Just taking action."

"Do the Work.. and it works."
"If you actually DO the work that this book gives you every opportunity to do... easily and right IN the book in some places, you WILL do More Great Work. The downloads that accompany online give this book a lot more than it appears at first glance. I recommend you 1. Buy the book and an empty notebook to do work in. I recommend a good sized one at least 8.5 x 11. 2. Put in your calendar a period of time each week to work on it (better yet, do it with another 1-4 people as a way of supporting each other) and 3. Add a time in your calendar to just THINK about that week's work.... you will see fantastic results. Thank you, Michael. You truly add to my week with your wisdom and videos."

"Feel like your best self isn't seeing the light of day? This book is for you..."
"I love this book. When I picked it up I was working 10-12 hours a day, 7 days a week starting a new business... and feeling like I could never get my head above water. "This just must be the life of an entrepreneur," I thought. Boy was I wrong. A friend recommended that I read DO MORE GREAT WORK and it has literally changed my life. In his deliciously empathetic and charming way Michael Bungay Stanier helped me see that my problem was a daily epidemic of "good work" that was keeping me from doing "great work." That clarity alone would have been worth reading the book for - but by taking the time to work through each of Michael's "map" (exercises) in the book I left with an actionable blueprint for how to shift my work habits to make sorely needed space for for great work. If you feel like your best self isn't seeing the light of day, DO MORE GREAT WORK is an absolute must read. I'm recommending it to others left and right."

"The change every business...and the world needs"
"This book is a critical message to the world of work and society.
No longer are we going to settle as workers(human beings) for "bad work" (read busy work.)
As a teacher of secondary age students, I share the messages of this book to encourage the skill /talents/knowing of my students
as they plan/imagine their adult lives and career paths.
This generation will not tolerate busy work...which unfortunately school often is for them.
This great work book inspires us all to re-evaluate what we are doing with our precious time.
It asks the questions and provides interactive maps and humor.
A true joy to read and use as a tool for moving forward."
