REVIEWS
In praise of Never Trust a Happy Dinosaur . . . What struck me immediately is the fact that dinosaurs are not new, there are just more of them today. And the speed at which they appear is directly related to the increasing pace of change. In the ‘80s, we all knew who the dino or two were in the workplace, but we worked around them. Today, unhealthy workplaces are fostering the species’ survival, literally. Jason’s quotes and examples are clearly based on real examples. Their accuracy had me visualizing past and present co-workers, and identifying their behaviors. More importantly, it challenged me to assess my own relevance, and how I can continuously develop myself, and those around me, towards ongoing collective success.

Jason has provided a great 'maintenance manual’ to remind us all that remaining relevant is a constant journey of adaptation. Never Trust a Happy Dinosaur is an easy concise read that uses humor to describe toxic personalities and offer insights on fixing your own “Dino tendencies” or work with Dinos around you. A recommended read for everyone!
