Back cover copy

Praise for CONFRONTING OUR FREEDOM “These two authors—Peter and Peter—offer us an exposition that will burst open many of our best assumptions and categories of interpretation. They range widely into our economy; they dig deeply into our most intimate and demanding relationships; and they probe honestly into issues that divide and summon our society. The sum of this is fresh thinking about the great gift of freedom and our shared responsibility for the well-being of our society. These authors come at issues in fresh ways. It is not a surprise that their judgments result in a profound summons to us.” —WALTER BRUEGGEMANN, Columbia Theological Seminary “Confronting Our Freedom: Leading a Culture of Chosen Accountability and Belonging is a book of its time where distributed work and post-pandemic living have ushered in a new set of challenges and opportunities when it comes to how we want to live and work. This book is another foundational work by Peter Block that will serve a new generation of thinkers when it comes to asking the big questions about what is a company and how does it serve in the world.” —ROB LOCASCIO, Founder and CEO, Live Person, Inc. “In Confronting Our Freedom, Peter provides a radical departure from organizational life as we know it. He invites us to deconstruct long-held practices and ways of being in the workplace that prioritize control, predictability, and an unhelpful relationship between leader and employee. Many of these practices we in Human Resources have created and perpetuated with the best of intentions. After reading Confronting Our Freedom, I am inspired to reimagine how different our workplaces could be when we believe freedom is inherent in every person and accountability is chosen rather than induced. This is a must-read for everyone practicing human resources in today’s workplace.” —TONYA HARRIS CORNILEUS, PhD, Senior Vice President, Learning & Talent Solutions, The Walt Disney Company
