The mirror many of us will recognize. When Shawn pinged me after missing out each other for some years I was happily surprised to learn he wrote a book and was eager to read it. The book is an amazing reflection for many of us who are living the live for the sake of living - for me it has been. The book is a mirror in which you look and reflect. And wonder. For me it has been an eye-opener in many ways and a big source of thoughts and reflections and I know for change. I would be surprised if anyone reads this and judges "hey, this is not me".

MORAL FIBER is definetely a MUST READ, it's about living our values into corporate business culture! This is for sure one of the BEST books I have read lately. Shawn’s story eloquently brings compassion into everyday business.The author do an amazing job weaving human values into corporate business culture! This book took me to a place where we all need to be - living our values. Besides that, the "timing" of the book is also great, considering the current issues we are all facing across the globe.I could not put the book down. The stories struck a chord in me as I could relate at every turn in the book - beautifully written !. "Must read book, especially for those in the corporate world and leadership roles" according to Federico Vaccari. Moral Fiber is a very current and relevant book for professionals in the corp world. Truly enjoyed the reading, as one can relate with the many candid and real stories on how the author faces challenging moral situations. With so many complex and controversial problems that we currently observe in the political arena, we expect some of those negative dynamics to eventually permeate into the corporate world. That said, this is the type of book that provides ethical support when trying to put our thoughts in perspective without violating our moral views.
