Pheel the Love!

How the Most Powerful Force in the Universe Builds Great Companies — Phillie Phanatic Style!
By Tom Burgoyne and Evan Marcus

Be loving. That's the fundamental message of Pheel the Love!

Can love — the most powerful force in the universe — also be the most powerful force in business? Told through the eyes of the Phillie Phanatic, the most successful and beloved mascot in all of sports, and Tom Burgoyne, who has been the Phanatic for nearly 30 years, this book makes the business case for love: companies on Fortune's 100 Best Places to Work list consistently outperform their peers by about 2-to-1, with better discretionary effort, loyalty, safety records, and reputation.

Presented as a light-hearted, instructive conversation between Tom Burgoyne and Evan Marcus, Pheel the Love! shows how love — infused into people, products, processes, and profits — unlocks the fullest potential of an organization.

Who It's For
