This local adaptation of the highly-regarded text by Raymond Noe addresses some of the key changes that have occurred in Australia and New Zealand during the first decade of the twenty-first century. These changes have either caused, catalysed, or coincided with some significant modifications in the patterns of training and development in both the private and public sectors. Not all of these changes are necessarily unique to the region, so while the primary focus is on Australia and New Zealand, the reader is able to step outside the regional context to be exposed to discussions of current training and development issues and practices in different cultures and environments.

In a highly personal account, the author, Don Bliss, tells how he coped with the sudden passing of his eldest son, Evan, at age 35. Evan was fulfilling his passion as a singer-songwriter as he pursued his day job as a health informatics specialist working on HIV/AIDS. Returning from Kenya where he was training Kenyan medical personnel, he suffered a pulmonary embolism after sixteen hours of flying. Bliss shares a tribute to his son and how, he, as a father, was enriched by Evan's life-his music, humor, independent thinking and insatiable curiosity, athletic prowess, and deep understanding and expression of love in all its dimensions. Sharing insights from family, mentors, classmates, bandmates, colleagues at work, and his fans, Bliss relates how much he has learned about the many impactful ways that Evan lived his 35 years to the fullest. He wrote and performed some 100 songs that expressed his insightful personal philosophy about life and human relationships, which deeply touched many.
