National Bestseller "Students talk about Stewart D. Friedman, a management professor at the Wharton School, with a mixture of earnest admiration, gratitude and rock star adoration." --New York Times In this national bestseller, Stew Friedman gives you the tools you need to achieve "four-way wins"--improved performance in all domains of life: work, home, community, and self.
