This book examines the value of applying Buddhist principles in the workplace to offer alternative ways of leading in the aftermath of the Great Recession and ensuing scandals. It highlights effective solutions, and flags up areas of caution.

Uniting the vehicles of business and management with those of the Buddhist tradition from a secular angle, this book presents us a fascinating opportunity to reconsider many of the concepts we practiced habitually yet not always mindfully. It provides us insights and tools to perform with more tranquility toward relationships that are based on mutual respect in an increasingly interrelated world. -- Tsoknyi Rinpoche, Pundarika Foundation, USA.

This book carefully brings together two worlds that are often considered incompatible: the business environment with its ambition, competition, and profit orientation, and Buddhist psychology with its principles of selflessness, tolerance, and non-harming: An important foundation for considerations about future performance as we move deeper into the twenty-first century. -- Marshall Goldsmith, Dartmouth Tuck School of Business, USA.

This is a highly engaging overview of business and Buddhism. Business needs Buddhist insights, and Buddhism needs insights from business. -- Ian I. Ml£¯
