"The value of having a good mentor is obvious and is also backed by rigorous research. They guide us, open doors, and help us advance our lives and careers in ways we could not do on our own. What is often overlooked is that the benefits of giving back, as good mentors do, lead to a prodigious list of personal gains: fulfillment, satisfaction with life, a sense of productivity, purpose, and value, a longer, healthier (physical and emotional) life, and symbolic immortality through legacy. Most people think of mentoring as hierarchical. Mentees look for a mentor, a few rungs up the ladder, to open doors, guide, and provide opportunities for them. Traditional mentorship is simple and often very effective. But this is NOT the only form of mentorship. There is also lateral mentoring which solves the problems so many of us face: feeling disconnected, a lack of direction, worries about solving work problems, and feeling intimidated by those above us at work. When we engage in lateral mentoring, we can let our guard down. A friend or colleague is someone you can be vulnerable with, whether they work in your department, another department, or are a friend outside of work. We feel comfortable expressing vulnerability with those we know, like, and trust. When we ask for help, those we trust will usually leap into action to help. The goal of this book is to inspire individuals to engage in mentoring naturally, whether hierarchically or laterally, in work settings and in their home life.

The Mentorship Edge: Creating Maximum Impact through Lateral and Hierarchical Mentoring is an insightful book on mentoring by Deborah Heiser, PhD. I was inspired by reading this book. Within the pages, readers will be reading stories and commentary from the author. I liked how she was able to show the importance and value of mentoring and how it can help future generations. I found it to be influential to read. I admired at how passionate this subject is for the author. I found parts of the book that I would be able to incorporate into my own life and gave me good guidance while raising two teenagers. It is most certainly a beneficial book to have on hand.
I am going to give The Mentorship Edge: Creating Maximum Impact through Lateral and Hierarchical Mentoring a very well deserved five plus stars. I highly recommend it for those who are searching for better ways to thrive personally and professionally, as well asnd how to become a better mentor and making an impact with others.. I would be interested in reading more books from the talented author, Deborah Heiser, PhD in the near future. I thought that this one is definitely worth a read and not to be missed.
I received a digital copy of Debroah Heiser, PhD's The Mentorship Edge: Creating Maximum Impact through Lateral and Hierarchical Mentoring from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
