Comments:
This is a small book in stature as well as total word count, but it’s rich in short wisdom. We paused to reread the section on “Fellowness as a Moral Dimension” twice, as well as “Impermanence as the Core of Business Evolution.” This monk knows what he’s talking about. Also fascinating was the section of “A Way to Solve Problems without Solving Them.” For those who are elbow-to-elbow with others in an office, this is good stuff. And it should be worth anyone’s time who wants to blend spiritual practice and their workplace. — Spirituality & Practice
