It achieved Amazon best-seller status and was quickly picked up for national distribution by Chapters/Indigo.
 
Craig has been a regular contributor to, and featured expert in, top-tier leadership and business publications including Fast Company, the Financial Post, the Huffington Post, Financial Times, the Globe and Mail, and Psychology Today. He will be writing a column on the science and practice of positive leadership for Forbes beginning April, 2019.
