Critics Review
This book examines capitalism and Buddhism in a fascinating way. Everybody in business who is seriously interested in responsible entrepreneurship will recognise the issues. The book adds a valuable dimension to the values and ethical standards that form the basis for responsible leadership in business. - Prof. C.O. Herkstroter, former CEO of Shell and Chairman of the Board of ING.
As a study of Buddhism and its relevance to globalisation, it has a lot to say. It applies the concepts of Buddhism to business: decision-making using concepts such as ‘the Right Way’, interdependence and impermanence. To simplify, it’s a Hippocratic, do-no-harm creed: companies should have integrity, leader’s mindfulness, to act for the greatest good. Many reader’s will value it. There’s much to learn, nothing to offend just leave your cynicism at the door. - Director MagazineAbout The Author
