Summary
When something is meaningful, powerful, and born of positive thinking, those around us will see it and affirm it. What you feel in that moment is mojo. This book guides you to that moment, helping you make it something you can create, sustain, and hold onto at any time in your life.
Mojo is a positive spirit that we bring to our work—arising from within and showing itself outwardly in the present moment. To feel meaning and happiness at work and in life, and to share that meaning and happiness with those around you, is the fullest expression of mojo.
The Mojo Toolkit in this book offers 14 tools to help us cultivate this extraordinary drive, so we can join the ranks of those who embrace happiness and meaning and keep winning.

He has long collaborated with executive coach Marshall Goldsmith, co-authoring more than ten bestsellers, including What Got You Here Won't Get You There, Mojo, Triggers and The Earned Life.
