"Business communication is increasingly overwhelming for assistants as many deal with a myriad of emails. The narrative of Max and Sophia in this book is a super guide on effective email management; from email content to folder storage and finding life outside the inbox.”

After 30+ years in this profession and I still learnt so much from this book. Brilliantly written! Loved the way the characters, Sophie and Max, shared their ideas and simple solutions to make our lives easier and less stressed whilst dealing with our over-crowded inboxes and at the same time sharing some interesting tips on email etiquette.
