Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
The authors of this wise little book have been consultants to corporations for 25 years. From their experience working with some 800 executives, they deduce that the corporate leaders of the 21st century will be spiritual masters ("corporate mystics"), and that already boardrooms are replete with mystics who are in on the secret that organizations are collective embodiments of spirit. In business for their heart and soul as well as for their wallet, they have beaten back the fear that robs the less hardy of their authenticity. With their ability to focus easily and nondogmatically on the task at hand, these "visionaries with their feet on the ground" are also problem solvers who inspire commitment, speak plainly, listen well, manage projects and create wealth. Wealth begins in the human soul, the authors say as they expound on powers of positive thinking, and at this point the book becomes a how-to manual culminating in four 10-minute exercises for attaining wealth-producing qualities of mysticism.

Worth reading but there is a glaring contradiction.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Corporate Mystic: A Guidebook for Visionaries with Their Feet on the Ground (Paperback)
While I think there are many elements and ideas in this book that are good and solid messages and reminders for leaders today, I do have a problem with that fact the book is dedicated to Bob Shapiro, Chairman and CEO of Monsanto, stating that he has transformed "business to improve the well-being of people and the planet we live on." Just a reminder: Monsanto is the manufacturer of Agent Orange and other weapons of mass destruction.

Necessary reading, whether you're in business or not.,
By Anthony D Ravenscroft (Santa Fe, NM United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Corporate Mystic: A Guidebook for Visionaries with Their Feet on the Ground (Paperback)
The only complaint I have is that this is passed off as a business book. Nonsense!! Leave out the "corporate" words & you've got vital advice for anyone literate enough to open it. No mumbo-jumbo, either, just some solid advice on how to get ahead in life by being honest & expecting the same. Read it every few months.

a manifesting must,
By Teri Jo Smith (Nahant, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Corporate Mystic: A Guidebook for Visionaries with Their Feet on the Ground (Paperback)
Having run a business for over fifteen years, this bookwarmed my heart! In a clothing market, it's seemed like the words "honest" and "business" couldn't exist in the same sentence. Very successful people do it! I' learned a lot from reading this book and feel like I can relax into the abundance I've created. I intend to integrate the theme of this book into even greater abundance! Truly an important writing!
