Description
By: Franz Metcalf, Bj Gallagher
“Skillfully integrate[s] timeless Buddhist wisdom with challenges faced by the present-day employee.” —Publishers Weekly
Includes an introduction by His Holiness the Dalai Lama
For thousands of years, Buddhism has provided a spiritual foundation for the daily lives of millions around the world. But does Buddhism have anything to offer us—Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike—in today’s world of work?
Franz Metcalf and BJ Gallagher think it does. Spiritual wisdom, Western or Eastern, inspires and instructs us in living a good life. And that’s just as true at work as at home. Buddha mind—a source of calm, compassion, and insight—exists within each of us, not just the historical Buddha. Being Buddha at Work shows how to embody that mind in the stress and clamor of the workplace—how to tap into the Buddha consciousness so we can relieve daily tensions and greet challenges with awareness, equanimity, and good humor.
The book’s first section, “Becoming a Mindful Worker,” covers Buddha’s wisdom for our own work; the second, “Cultivating Mindful Work Relationships,” focuses on how to work with other people; the third, “Creating a Mindful Workplace,” deals with broader organizational topics. There is wisdom here for everyone—from frontline workers and team members, to supervisors and managers, to top executives and organizational leaders.
“What do you get when a Buddhist scholar and a workplace expert write a book together? . . . A treatise with profound spiritual implications and practical applications.” —Marshall Goldsmith, New York Times-bestselling author of The Earned Life
“This little book is like having Buddha as one of your mentors or coaches—someone who can help you with real-world problems.” —Ken Blanchard, New York Times-bestselling coauthor of The One Minute Manager®
