“In this book, Rob Work has narrated a fascinating story of his life, demonstrating his passion for humanity and the planet, and contribution to community and leadership development through the nonprofit Institute of Cultural Affairs, United Nations Development Program and the NYU Wagner Graduate School of Public Service.”
-                              - G. Shabbir Cheema, PhD, senior fellow, Harvard Kennedy School; former director of UNDP Management Development and Governance Division

“What a remarkable life! You show readers who might feel despair that it is possible to change the world.”
-        Catherine Whitney, nonfiction author of 50-plus books, including several best sellers

“Robertson Work’s autobiography is an example of what it means to be a global citizen with heart—heart for his family and heart for all humanity.”
            - Nancy Roof, PhD, founder of Kosmos Journal

“Rob’s autobiography is largely a love story—of Rob's love of the earth, his fellow earthlings and of life itself—but not without drama, tragedy and comedy as well.”
-        Martin Gilbraith, London UK, certified professional facilitator, trainer & consultant; International Association of Facilitators (IAF), chair 2011-12; and ICA International, president 2013-16

“Reading this book is like being held in a warm embrace, as we journey with this man in every turn of page, experiencing all his adventures around the world and diving deep into his reflections on identity, family, love, life, loss and purpose.”
-        Lowie Rosales Kawasaki, former United Nations Habitat program officer, Nairobi

“At the heart of Rob’s life has been a ‘blessed unrest’ that for 75 years he has kept reflecting and acting upon two key questions: ‘What is humanness?’ and ‘How do I be of service?’”
-        Jan Sanders, founder/director, PeoplEnergy, Canada

“This is a must-read autobiography for all of us to realize the compassionate life and virtues of noble humanity.”
-        Tatwa P. Timsina, PhD, professor, Tribhuvan University; author; founding chair, ICA Nepal; and former president of ICA International

“Robertson writes of his mythic journey from growing up, a small-town boy, in Oklahoma, then as an adult working in rural villages in forsaken areas of the world and finally to the United Nations, where he was able to influence the governance of thousands of communities in the world.”
- Joy Jinks, MSW, author of Dynamic Aging; community organizer

“Grateful to read this wonderful book, which documents 75 years of living with poor people and serving many countries.”
-        Rev. Dr. Park Si Won, former pastor of Bo Moon Methodist Church and director of ICA Korea
