Thought provoking

Those of us in any field involving engagement will benefit from Simon’s ideas. Relevance is both an excellent use of the term and a description of a timely and useful philosophy.

Finally!

This book offers a meaningful framework for evolving our cultural nonprofits into the changing world rather than the dismal POV taken by many. It will speak to creative practitioners working in community to do catalytic work and those that aspire to do that work.

Best assigned reading I have ever read.

In 3 years of grad school, studying nonprofit management, this was the best written, most interesting and RELEVANT book that I have been assigned. I loved being able to listen to it and get things done while I was also doing school work. I will 100% be recommending this book to friends and colleagues who work in and run nonprofits.

Excellent resource for all who wish to be relevant

The author did an excellent job addressing the topic at hand. The authors' performance was better than many authors who choose to narrate their own work, maybe due to her public interpretive background. The only things I took any exception to were nuances of performance, but the book was good enough to more than balance these out!
Thanks!

Fantastic

I've recommended this book before I even finished it. Will revisit it again and again!

Good Insight for Arts Administrators

Definitely helped me understand the process of engagement and marketing in the cultural heritage sector.

The progressive liberal thinking.

One would be much better off reading Who Moved my Cheese and How to Win Friends and Influence People.
The book was more about being a progressive community organizer in my opinion.
