Clark Baim's well-written and easily accessible book on mindful
co-working is very timely indeed: with more people working harder
and longer than ever before and in today's climate of job
insecurity, "working together" is fundamental for business success.
This highly readable and practical book is a must-read for anybody
wanting to enhance their working relationships.

Mindful Co-working addresses a crucial but under-recognised
dimension of professional practice in an informative, accessible
format, making it an indispensable resource for managers and
practitioners committed to enhancing the effectiveness of
professional interventions.

Clark Baim's wonderful offering brings the skills of mindfulness
into our everyday (potentially) productive relationships.
Cultivating Baim's five clearly defined principles of mindful
co-working, does not require us to do some special or exotic
practice; rather, we are simply asked to do what we do with our
full attention -- together. Within that focus, we can co-create a
space of working and achieving together that is not only fulfilling
for each of us, but also rewarding for all.
