REVIEWS
We can do it all ladies – As a fellow mum and entrepreneur I stay sane by reminding myself that I am an excellent role model for my daughters. Be brave, be bold and believe you can. This book will help you pull the ripcord and take your first steps– it won’t be easy but where there is a will there is a way.
Nicole Soames, CEO of Diadem Performance and author of The Negotiation Book
A practical guide, written with so much heart! Christine draws brilliantly on her experiences as a mom and entrepreneur to give readers the tools to integrate their career and family lives.
Sanyin Siang, author of The Launch Book and CEO Coach
The book might as well be written to men, who want a balance between running their own business and their family. It’ s good, because it addresses the challenge of being a passionated person, who wants to create their own business and keep a close relationship with their children as well. It is not unusual that women understate their interest in their children to make sure they are taken seriously as business women. In this book they have got a voice. Thank you for that. … All in all, a fine and inspiring book, that I would recommend.
Ulla Bechsgaard, Jyllands-Posten (Danish Newspaper)

Dong Mingzhu & Gree
China's economic rise and influence have been one of the most significant developments in the global economy of recent times. A driving force behind this expansion has been the private entrepreneurs and companies of China, some of which have literally redefined the economic and business landscape, both inside and outside of China. Dong Mingzhu is one such entrepreneur. Gree Electric is one of the powerhouses of the air-conditioning industry, and owes its success to the entrepreneurial and management tenacity of Dong. As a young widow, aged 36, she travelled south and began work at Gree as an ordinary salesperson. Four years later, in 1994, she became head of sales. By 1996, she was deputy president, and by 2001, president of Gree. During this time, Dong challenged and transformed industry norms through her innovations in sales, service and employee policies. This is the story of one of China's most inspiring and innovative business leaders.

Wild Knowledge: Outthink the Revolution
Today, we live and do business in a world where society gathers knowledge faster than it gathers wisdom. It is a world of continuous revolution and change. Those who manage to find, structure and exploit the power of "Wild Knowledge" - ie, the untamed data, learnings and experiences that flourish in our lives and minds - will come out the winners. In combination, we need to develop our ability to understand and judge which aspects of that knowledge are applicable to business and life in general. This is the so-called "Vicious Wisdom" which will force you to unlearn, to choose an approach of unthinking, in order to reach a deeper understanding, meaning and reason in your quest to find new and different solutions. This book, written by a leading futurist/philosopher, presents a powerful and radical approach to thinking about and solving our future lives and businesses.
