Shadows at Work: How Pop Culture Illuminates Psychology

For every office, there is an unspoken story—a quiet tension under the surface that shapes the way people interact, decide, and lead. Steve d’Souza’s Shadows at Work invites us to peer into that story, not through dense theory, but through vivid narratives grounded in pop culture and everyday moments. It’s a book that begins small—focusing on the hidden fears and desires of a single leader—before zooming out to reveal the complex, often surprising ways these shadows influence entire organizations. Reading it feels like uncovering a secret you somehow already knew, told by a voice that is both inviting and deeply insightful.
