Twitter's VP Europe reveals how to make our workplaces fit for the 21st century
Bruce Daisley is a writer, consultant and one of the UK's most influential voices on the intersection of life and work. His research into better working practices has featured in publications including the Guardian, the Telegraph, Wired UK, Washington Post, Harvard Business Review and the Wall Street Journal. His podcast Eat Sleep Work Repeat has been an Apple number one business podcast and has featured psychologists, neuroscientists and workplace experts including Daniel Pink, Scott Galloway, Noreena Hertz and Rutger Bregman. He was previously the European Vice-President for Twitter, the firm's most senior employee outside of the US. His first book, The Joy of Work, was a Sunday Times bestseller and has been translated into sixteen languages.
Bruce Daisley is on a mission to change the world of work and help
ordinary people to kick their addiction to digital communication.
His thesis is attractive and compelling: rather than free us up,
new technology is tying us to our devices and desks and raising
stress and unhappiness at work with no discernible increase in
productivity . . . Daisley may be the man to lead the pushback.
*The Times*
[Daisley] offers helpful tips and ways of thinking to maximise your
happiness and productivity at work without giving up your soul.
*Evening Standard*
You’ve probably read a lot about the positives of side hustles and
freelance life, but what if you’re committed to a career within a
company? European Twitter Vice-President Bruce Daisley has some of
the answers . . . Bruce’s book is a manifesto for frustrated
workers.

Combating workplace misery has become the mission of Bruce Daisley,

Repeat. His latest book, The Joy Of Work, is designed to make us
fall back in love with our job again . . . Daisley’s book debunks
many long-held assumptions about the workplace.
*Grazia*
For many people work has become joyless, but Daisley offers some
easy fixes that any employee or team could implement straight away
to make work feel better again . . . Daisley has a knack of showing
how easy it is to make what are really rather small day-to-day

*Financial Times*
Do you enjoy your job? Only 13% of employees feel engaged in their
jobs, according to a Gallup survey of global workers . . . Bruce
Daisley offers a range of sensible, and jargon-free, solutions.
*Economist*
Full of zing and enthusiasm for transforming work culture and
creating happy and motivated team players.
*Evening Standard*
Daisley may be best known as Twitter’s UK boss and a top podcaster
but he's also, as it turns out, a pretty compelling author. The Joy
of Work is a series of hacks to make teams closer and workplaces
more joyous, covering everything from meetings to meaning, but its
evidence base goes a bit deeper – any book that channels both The
Strokes and the special forces must be on to something.
*People Management*
Bruce Daisley’s latest book is one to help you achieve what on
Monday morning might seem like the impossible: happiness in the
daily grind...Touching upon isolation, mental health, communication
and, yes, sleep pods, Daisley’s obsession with the workplace and
subsequent quest to explore ways to make it better is an enjoyable
read.
Bruce gives a fresh perspective on how to get the most out of work,
making it fun, and reinvigorating the culture around you...Through
simple and practical advice, it allows for a rethinking of how to
be (more) productive, instil joy and laughter in the office, and
fall in love (again) with work. It’s a business book without the
business jargon, and is an enjoyable read from start to finish.
