Love is the most powerful force in the world. Steve Farber captures this in his book as a relevant and necessary act of doing business and being in the service of others. Good begets good. Well done!

STEDMAN GRAHAM, speaker, entrepreneur, and author of Identity Leadership

We all know what good business isnt. It isnt working your teams to death. Or prioritizing profits above all else. Or clueless hiring and ruthless firing. And its no longer enough to be liked, or respected, or even trusted. To succeed in any crowded and distracted market, you must be loved by customers and employees alike. How? Steve Farber reveals the fascinating answers. I love this book.

SALLY HOGSHEAD, CEO of Fascinate and New York Times bestselling author of How the World Sees You and Fascinate

They dont teach this stuff in business school, but they should! Love Is Just Damn Good Business is a message every leader at every level of every organization needs to take to heart and put into action. Its what I strive to do every day in my business.

IVAN MISNER, PhD, founder of BNI and New York Times bestselling author of Truth or Delusion?

Ive seen how love works in my own aptly named business, and I know it will work in yours. Thanks to Steve Farber, you now have a road map to show you the way. A book on this subject could easily have been all soft platitudes; instead, it is a serious book with pages of substantive insight and actionable advice. Read it and lead from the heart.

Too many leaders have bought into the myth that business should be cutthroat and heartless. Steve Farber upends that long-held belief by showing that love is the secret to creating a valuable, sustainable enterprise in the twenty-first century, and he proves it with his latest and, I think, greatest book.

PHIL TOWN, investor, speaker, and New York Times bestselling author of Rule #1 and Payback Time

If youve been looking for that missing ingredient to help take your success to the next level, you must read this book.
