'This is a deep and rewarding exploration of human motivation in sport, politics, business and our personal lives’

‘Collaboration, not challenging, is a better way to live our lives. A self-help book that should be read by all.'

‘This book reminds us of the perils of chasing poorly defined notions of success – a revised edition could not be more timely or essential.'

‘A stimulating book that takes the concept of succeeding and gives it a makeover. Powerful and profound.’

‘Winning and losing are the simplistic ways that modern Western societies consider success. But Cath Bishop shows how much more complex the lived experience of competition really is. What a joy to read someone talking about this crucial subject from lived experience, showing how much more there is to understand about the way that we judge ourselves and everyone else. Anyone interested in motivation should read this book and think deeply.’

‘Looking at life from a different point of view is a rare skill. Built on in-depth research and broad experience as well as original thought, this book will change your outlook on everything.’

‘It is easy to overlook and underestimate how deeply the cultural obsession with “winners” and “winning at all costs” runs, but Cath shines a much-needed light on the topic. She makes a powerful and convincing argument as to why it is high time we updated and evolved our way of playing, educating and living. The Long Win presents a compelling vision of a healthier, happier and more creative way of being, and I believe it has arrived at exactly the right moment in human history.’

‘I love this book. It is a must-read for educators, business executives, policy makers, politicians and indeed anyone who wants to understand why we need a new narrative around winning and success. We need a lot more Long-Win Thinking in our homes, businesses and institutions and Cath’s book is the place to go to find out why – and how we get there.’
