Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Well-being
Ivan Robertson · 2011
72/100
👍 Worth It
Robertson and Cooper make a solid, research-backed case that employee well-being isn't a soft HR perk but a real driver of performance and engagement. It picked up a Best Book of 2011 nod from the Center for Optimal Adult Development, which says the field took it seriously. The framing leans corporate-consultancy, so expect a business lens rather than a personal self-help one.
