READER'S REVIEWS

“The game-changers challenge you to look, think, and do things differently. While the tone is light, the book has the serious intention to break patterns using the insights of positive psychology. Jacky van de Goor earned her doctorate for her research on purpose. The game-changers are short and clear, one page per activity, appropriately and varyingly illustrated. A great gift for colleagues to do 102 game-changers every day. I think it will make you feel better.”
Erwin van de Pol

“As Chief Happiness Officer I know how hard it can be to turn the insights from positive psychology into actions. This book puts the theory aside to deliver a bite-sized shot of positivity on each page. I recognize the scientific insights behind the exercises but you don’t need the theoretic knowledge to start working with them. Wonderful to experiment with and put a smile on people’s faces. I will definitely use these exercises and leave the book lying around here and there for inspiration and fun!”
Lotte van Strien

“It is such a brilliant little book! Each page has an exercise to experience purpose and vitality in your work. It offers an insight into what gives your work meaning and what gives it more vitality. It will improve the way you interact with colleagues and makes you think about enjoying doing your work.”

“Fun, humor, and a good atmosphere are essential aspects to create more happiness on the work floor. This book will definitely contribute to that.”
Judith Gabriël

“Jacky van de Goor has succeeded in getting to the core of positive psychology in a playful, humorous, and practical manner. The game-changers are bit-sized and ready to use for teams or yourself. They encourage reflection, connection, and playfulness, and bring purpose back into your daily routine. A must-have for everyone who wants to bring a lightness to the work floor.”
