This anthology of interdisciplinary writings looks at the integration of mind, body, and spirit as it plays out in the workplace—whether in birth coaching, teaching parents, assisting the terminally ill, or working in the military, the classroom, or the corporation. These essays reveal what gets in the way of our humanity in the work world and how to rediscover that humanity. Written by leading professionals in business, education, medicine, technology, finance, psychology, and the military, this collection of essays explores how reconnecting with one’s humanity can result in true leadership in any field.

Product Description
Review
"Being Human at Work shows that human accomplishment emanates from the wisdom of our body, soul, spirit, and mind. When we operate as though it is only from our intellect, we use a fraction of our capacity. This book shows that when we allow people the full expression of their "selves" at work, breakthrough results occur."
—Ruth Otte, former president of The Discovery Channel
"This book is a rich blend of essays by Strozzi Institute colleagues, who view the body as a subject rather than as an object, the senses as integral to the intellect, and long-term mastery of the self as a universal birthright."
—George Leonard, author of Mastery and The Ultimate Athlete

Heckler put together a beautiful anthology focusing on the role the body plays in a variety of different fields. Some of the essays were a bit too newagish for my taste, but overall the quality was very high. My main complaint is not with what is in the book but in what is out. In particular, I'm disappointed that Heckler did not include in this anthology an essay by Mr. Bolelli, a writer who published a book about philosophy and martial arts with the same publishing company. In Bolelli's book, On the Warrior's Path, he thanks Heckler in the acknowledgments so they obviously know each other, and one of the chapters of Bolelli's book is one of the best essays I have ever read on the role of the body in shaping our awareness. Too bad, because it would have worked well here. In any case, despite this, Heckler put together a brilliant anthology on a very interesting topic.
