Michael Carroll's many years of study and deep experience in both Buddhist practice and the workplace come shining forth in these pages. --Geoffrey Shugen Arnold, Sensei, Abbot, Fire Lotus Temple, Zen Center of New York City <br><br> Utterly trustworthy, profound, and pragmatic, this new book expresses in beautiful language how to use Buddhist principles to transform our work life into a source of confidence, goodness, and happiness. --Susan Piver, author of The Wisdom of a Broken Heart
