Make It Matter

We can do better—and we must. In a world where distrust, isolation, and a growing sense of insignificance are eroding our workplaces, relationships, and communities, Make It Matter arrives as an essential guide for our time. Matthew Emerzian—founder of Every Monday Matters, a highly sought-after keynote speaker, and bestselling author whose work has impacted millions of lives and countless organizations—has been on a mission to create a world where everyone embraces how much and why they matter to themselves, one another, and the world. Make it Matter, his fifth book, introduces the Mattering Mindset™, a powerful framework designed to restore connection and unlock human potential at both the individual and collective levels. Drawing from cutting-edge research, real- world organizational use cases, and raw personal experience, this book offers a transformative approach to reconnecting with ourselves, our work, and each other. Rather than relying on temporary motivation or surface-level fixes, the book provides practical tools, actionable strategies, and guided reflection that can be implemented immediately. Readers gain clarity around purpose, a deeper sense of belonging, and the ability to inspire meaningful, sustainable change in the people and environments around them. Whether you are an individual searching for deeper meaning, a leader striving to engage and inspire your team, or an organization committed to creating a culture of lasting impact, Make It Matter provides a proven blueprint for transformation. This is a must-read for anyone ready to rebuild trust, restore significance, and fundamentally reshape how we live, work, and show up for one another in a world that desperately needs more mattering.
