📘 Work

"We all need to Chop Wood and Carry Water." In Thich Nhat Hanh's latest teachings on how to use applied Buddhism in daily life, he looks at how we deal with workplace scenarios, handle home and family responsibilities, and endure traffic jams and other challenges of modern life. By carefully examining our everyday choices he encourages us to become a lotus in a muddy world by building mindful communities, learning about compassionate living, and come to an understanding of our inert "Buddha nature." [Work] aims at contributing to new models of leadership and doing business, but is also full of life-coaching advise and finding our true happiness"--
