What readers say

“In this book, Josefine Campbell focuses on the essence of being a good leader—how can we become a better version of ourselves? The combination of optimizing energy and mental presence is a powerful message that many leaders will be able to use to become a better version of themselves. At a turning point in my life, I realized what it can do to [help me] be mentally agile. After that, it helped me handle my work with Pandora’s IPO. Today I use it in my work in Carlsberg, but also privately. In my opinion, it is more a self-development book than a management book because you can use the tools in all aspects of life.”

Jesper SabroeFinance Vice President, Carlsberg Group

“Josefine Campbell's authentic manner, combined with her curiosity and emotional commitment, permeates this book, written in a down-to-earth and easy-to-read way. Hijacking as an expression is brilliant—we can all be hijacked sometimes and from this book get inspiration to navigate our state of mind.”

Anette B. HasenbergCEO, MOL Chemical Tankers

“Don’t ruin your career by getting ‘hijacked.’ I’ve seen it happen too many times to count. Talented, experienced people get fired every day for not managing their energy. The tools are simple. Not using them can undo all of your value to an organization. I’m recommending this book to all of our companies.”
