Personally I loved Hannah’s Christmas Gift even more the second time around. I cannot stop thinking about Bruce’s philosophy on life and what really matters. Bruce’s message is so practical and obvious and the way he presents it makes you sit up, take notice and take action.

This book provides the most logical, practical & refreshing view on the work life balance equation.

Its boxing day and I am just finished reading your book. It hits all the tender parts. As I read your book I rediscovered messages I have been seeing and feeling over the last little while which seem to be interwoven through the message of several presenters and writers. I am currently summarising that as those who have the capacity to conceptualise and simplify. Getting the big picture and then working out with clarity which bits to choose is a great secret most people never get, although many would have a socially fashionable discussion about it! Thanks for the clarity, the simple policies and timely reminder. Well done.

Hannah’s Christmas gift is a work-life balance masterpiece. It challenges the very core of our consumption-driven world and asks us to consider what is really important in our busy, modern lifestyles. Enjoy the book… it may just change your life!

It came to me as a gift and the timing could not have been better. I’ve tried many times before to figure out this thing called life, I’ve tried goal setting at the start of the year, but never revisited those goals, and most went unachieved year after year. Now, from reading the book, I’ve realised that the goals set didn’t actually mean anything to me.

For the first time I have goals in all areas of life that are worth laminating and putting up in the shower!

We give a copy of Hannah’s Christmas Gift to every new staff member who joins our team. I want us all to have the benefits of the messages in this simple but potent little hardcover. The messages in Hannah’s Christmas Gift about choice and self-awareness are valuable gifts and a great way to say thank-you to people who have chosen to contribute their energy and creativity to our business.

I liked Hannah’s Christmas Gift because it spoke into the ‘striving’ nature of today’s society & helped bring a family perspective. I gave a copy to a mate at work who was traveling 5-6 days a week, rarely went home and was working 60-70 hours. He initially growled about it – but I heard he’s taken a job closer to home to be with his family now!

I was inspired by your talk at a conference last year and your story about Hannah’s Christmas Gift. I bought the book for my daughter in law who has a son with Down Syndrome and you wrote in it for her. I gave it to her for her birthday in November and she said it came just at the right time. I would recommend the book to anyone.

I bought your books a few years ago. I read them at the time but ‘found’ Hannah’s Christmas Gift last year when my dad was re-diagnosed with cancer. I was trying to get my head around the news and as my dad got sicker I took on more responsibility for him while trying to stay on top of my fairly intense job. Your book kept me balanced and kept things in perspective. It also helped me remember that I had a choice in how I responded and dealt with the news and decisions I was faced with. I found such comfort in reading your book during those first few weeks. So much so that anytime I feel overwhelmed I pick up your book and read which ever page I open to, and it is very helpful.

Bruce, you are a little bit different to the norm and you bring to the table many special messages that you deliver in a mix of ways to cause everyone to take notice. I have had the joy of being in attendance at one of your presentations – you were absolutely brilliant to be with. I have purchased a number of Hannah’s Christmas Gift books and have given a copy to all the special people in my team.
