WHAT READERS ARE SAYING
“We are hardwired for story and no one gets that more than Pamela Slim. BODY OF WORK is a powerful and transformative book. Before this book, my journey from waiting tables to vulnerability researcher and teacher never made sense. Now, after reading BODY OF WORK and completing the exercises, I get it. Not only does it help me understand where I’ve been – it’s renewed my passion for where I’m going and why.”
Brené Brown, bestselling author of Daring Greatly“Pam Slim has written THE modern career handbook. Her advice, spunk, and spirit make the book a joy to read – it struck me as a compelling (and modernized) cross between What Color is Your Parachute and How to Make Friends and Influence People.”
Robert Sutton, Stanford Professor, author of The No Asshole Rule, and co-author of Scaling Up Excellence“In the pages of this life-changing book you’ll meet people who are creating beautiful lives from the most surprising materials – bravery and dedication, yes, but also fear, shame, and illness. Their courage, and Pamela Slim’s words, are inspiring. This book is a gift to every reader in these tough times.”
