John Toomey, one of Australia’s preeminent voices in workplace wellbeing and high-performance culture, is receiving widespread critical acclaim for his transformative book, In it for the Long Haul: Making the Most of Working Remotely in the Resources Sector. Following the success of its 2021 debut, Toomey has officially launched the Spanish edition, expanding his mission to support the global workforce in mining, oil, gas, and construction.
Since its initial release, the book has become a vital lifeline for Fly-In Fly-Out (FIFO) workers and their families, offering a roadmap to transition from merely "enduring" remote work to thriving within it.
The book has garnered high praise from elite athletes and international business executives alike, all of whom highlight Toomey’s unique ability to blend practical survival skills with deep emotional intelligence.
"Read this book. Not only will it help you, but it will also empower you to help others. You will be supporting John and myself to make life better in Australia." — Matthew Richardson, Richmond Football Club Legend
"There are very few like JT; he genuinely cares. I am so glad he has finally committed some of what is in that wondrous mind to paper. This is a must-read for those who know there is still room for self-improvement." — Paul Salmon, AFL Hall of Fame Member & Founder/CEO of moodflo.
The book’s relevance extends far beyond the Australian outback. Charles “Bill” Schneider, Retired Chairman and CEO of Health Resources Northwest (USA), noted the book's universal appeal: "The book offers tips and observations on personal development that proved both timely and helpful given the stresses of modern-day life."
With the launch of the Spanish edition, Toomey addresses the significant population of Spanish-speaking professionals in the global resources sector. The book provides "rational guidance" for managing the physical and mental toll of being away from home for extended periods, ensuring that the remote work experience becomes a defining and successful chapter of a worker's life.
