Humans Working is not your typical business book. This book goes much deeper than sharing organizational-level practices and strategies; it points to an understanding of human nature that applies to all people in all settings. If you are ready for deep, sustainable change that is based on mutual respect and understanding, I urge you to read Humans Working today.

As the CEO of a fast-growing company, [...] Humans Working has helped me [...] see that the greatest CEOs [...] succeed by letting go and allowing success to come through them. By humanizing your culture and team, you can cultivate an energy that is far more powerful than you can create alone. Humans Working has offered something different – that if I trust in the unknown [...] the result can be far more powerful than expected.

Throughout my career as a computer scientist and serial entrepreneur, I have constantly pushed for businesses to realize that the single most important thing they can do to supercharge their business is to start paying attention to the people they work with. In this book, Naphtali shows his caring nature and demonstrates his deep understanding of the truth that without a positive and happy culture, no business has a chance to be successful.

Humans Working is a game-changer! Unlike most business books, you will not find strategies, tools, or techniques you need to follow. Instead, Naphtali points us to the most important thing for any business to thrive: what’s already inside us. With wit, humor, and personal stories, Naphtali takes you on a personal journey to ignite the spark inside your business and even your personal life. Read this book the first time for information and read it again for a transformation!

Humans Working goes back to the basics. Whether you’re an executive of a large company or leader at a small startup, this book provides a useful mental tool to engage with the diverse interpersonal interactions that make up your day. Naphtali provides a compelling personal narrative, interwoven with corporate case studies, that allows you to see how seemingly complex situations, both professional and personal, can be resolved through a simple but powerful reframing of the mind – and a bit of empathy.

Humans Working is an unusually inspiring book on work, leadership, and innovation. Naphtali Visser [...] takes us into a journey of personal experiences, where he inspects work relationships from an internal point of view, as an extension of human behavior. According to Naphtali, good faith and trust point the shortest path to success. Working relationships based on simplicity and independent thought have far more constructive effects than rigid rules, manuals of conduct, rigorous pre-planning, and corporate obedience.
