The Reset cover

"The Reset is a provocative guide to how we fit into an ecosystem' - The Financial Times

Being busy isn't an Identity
Perks aren't office Culture
Profit isn't all we want from Business
Loneliness shouldn't happen in a Community
Inequality isn't inevitable in a City
We can all shape Society

From the award-winning author and Financial Times columnist Elizabeth Uviebinené, a fundamental rethink of how we work and live. Because if we're going to really benefit from the radical shift of 2020, we have to rethink how we fit into an ecosystem. Elizabeth started with a simple desire to explore our relationship with work, and how it was impacting our lives. It became clear if we want to reset how we work as individuals, we're going to need to reset the work culture we exist in, the businesses we work for, the communities we're a part of, the cities we live in and the society we can shape. We can't just rethink one strand of society; we need to rethink everything together. It's time for a Reset.

The Reset is a short, digestible book for people who want to work better, and live better. Elizabeth addresses our urge to work differently, to work in a way that suits more parts of our lives. It's optimistic, positive and provocative, offering fresh perspectives on the way we live now, and a punchy idea for how we might live in the future. So what's possible now that would have seemed impossible before?


Some people seek purpose in work. Others see work as a tool to live with purpose outside of work. Where do you sit on this scale?
