<div>&ldquo;Skillfully integrate[s] timeless Buddhist wisdom with challenges faced by the present-day employee.&rdquo; &mdash;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&mdash;Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike&mdash;in today&rsquo;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&rsquo;s just as true at work as at home. Buddha mind&mdash;a source of calm, compassion, and insight&mdash;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&mdash;how to tap into the Buddha consciousness so we can relieve daily tensions and greet challenges with awareness, equanimity, and good humor. The book&rsquo;s first section, &ldquo;Becoming a Mindful Worker,&rdquo; covers Buddha&rsquo;s wisdom for our own work; the second, &ldquo;Cultivating Mindful Work Relationships,&rdquo; focuses on how to work with other people; the third, &ldquo;Creating a Mindful Workplace,&rdquo; deals with broader organizational topics. There is wisdom here for everyone&mdash;from frontline workers and team members, to supervisors and managers, to top executives and organizational leaders. &ldquo;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.&rdquo; &mdash;Marshall Goldsmith, New York Times-bestselling author of The Earned Life &ldquo;This little book is like having Buddha as one of your mentors or coaches&mdash;someone who can help you with real-world problems.&rdquo; &mdash;Ken Blanchard, New York Times-bestselling coauthor of The One Minute Manager&reg;</div>

Being Buddha at Work

<div>&ldquo;With this memoir by a &lsquo;simple monk&rsquo; who spent 33 years in prisons and labor camps for resisting the Chinese, a rare Tibetan voice is heard.&rdquo; &mdash;The New York Times Book Review Palden Gyatso was born in a Tibetan village in 1933 and became an ordained Buddhist monk at eighteen&mdash;just as Tibet was in the midst of political upheaval. When Communist China invaded Tibet in 1950, it embarked on a program of &ldquo;reform&rdquo; that would eventually affect all of Tibet&rsquo;s citizens and nearly decimate its ancient culture. In 1967, the Chinese destroyed monasteries across Tibet and forced thousands of monks into labor camps and prisons. Gyatso spent the next twenty-five years of his life enduring interrogation and torture simply for the strength of his beliefs. Palden Gyatso&rsquo;s story bears witness to the resilience of the human spirit, and to the strength of Tibet&rsquo;s proud civilization, faced with cultural genocide. &ldquo;To readers of this memoir, however untraveled, Tibet will never again seem remote or unfamiliar. . . . Gyatso reminds us that the language of suffering is universal.&rdquo; &mdash;Library Journal &ldquo;Has the ring of undeniable truth. . . . Palden Gyatso&rsquo;s clear-sighted eloquence (in Tsering Shakya&rsquo;s fluent translation) makes his tale even more engrossing.&rdquo; &mdash;San Francisco Chronicle</div>

The Autobiography of a Tibetan Monk

<div>A guide to leading an ethical, happy, and spiritual life beyond religion and cultivating key human values, from a beloved world religious leader.Ten years ago, in the best-selling Ethics for a New Millennium, His Holiness the Dalai Lama first proposed an approach to ethics based on universal rather than religious principles.

<div>The Dalai Lama as You've Never Heard Him BeforeA few years ago, prominent cultural anthropologist Noriyuki Ueda sat down with the Dalai Lama for a lively two-day conversation. This little book is the result. In it are some surprising truths and commonsense wisdom."The attachment that seeks what is good is worthwhile. Seeking enlightenment is a kind of attachment that we should keep, as is the desire for an unbiased heart.""Anger that is motivated by compassion or a desire to correct social injustice, and does not seek to harm anyone, is a good anger worth having.""I'm not only a socialist, but also a bit of a leftist, a Communist.""The type of competition that says, 'I am the winner, and you are the loser' must be overcome. But a positive competition allows us to lift each other up so that everybody ends up on top."Open the book to any page and find great wisdom on what matters most. And what matters most is not adherence to any one doctrine or political system but living with an open mind and heart.</div>
