Synopsis

In this timely and succinct book, the author takes a profound, witty and provocative look at current business philosophies, and how they have influenced modern management - especially in these current times of crisis - in creating businesses that seem to have largely lost their soul, and in the process, have created unhappy and unhealthy environments to work in. Heaven and hell, God and the Devil, Good and Bad - these are some of the powerful metaphors used to help readers understand their role and function in today's world of business. In doing so, the author seeks to answer deep and burning questions about our career and self-development, about our emotional health, about potential escape hatches, the often treacherous role of business, and the need to regain meaning in what we do for a living. The author offers seven actionable solutions designed to restore meaning and higher degree of personal happiness in all levels of management and business.
