Critics Review

Bodanis’ book is more than a business book, it is a primer for anyone fed up with the meanness of much of society, and looking for inspiration to do better - and fix things for others * Financial Times *Bodanis is a superb storyteller … [he] is clearly one of the good guys and this book is a cheering, timely, inspirational reminder, as we witness a new dawn in the American presidency, that they - we - can succeed, without losing our souls – Christina Patterson * Sunday Times *This is a delightful book about a vitally important subject - and David Bodanis is an enthralling storyteller. Prepare to be taken on a surprising, wide-ranging and ultimately inspiring journey to explore what makes us human - and how decency and kindness can prevail even in dark times. You won’t be able to forget this book; and you won’t want to – Tim HarfordThe core message can be found in the subtitle: ‘The power of decency in a world turned mean’ … It is a wise lesson * Economist *[Fairness] is one of those senses which drives our feelings much more than our thoughts … I cannot think of a topic more in need of the kind of intelligent study which David Bodanis unfailingly provides – Rory SutherlandFascinating – Roger Trapp * Forbes *
