Buddha's Office

The Ancient Art of Waking Up While Working Well

De: Dan Zigmond

Narrado por: Dan Zigmond

Can enlightenment be found at the office? From the co-author of Buddha's Diet comes another book that shows how the wisdom of Buddha can apply to our modern lives -- this time exploring how Buddha's guidance can help us navigate the perils of work life.

Without setting foot in an office, Buddha knew that helping people work right was essential to helping them find their path to awakening. Now more than ever, we need Buddha's guidance. Too many of us are working long hours, dealing with difficult bosses, high-maintenance coworkers, and non-stop stress. We need someone to help remind us that there is a better way. With Buddha's wisdom at the core of every chapter, Buddha's Office will help you learn how to stop taking shortcuts and pay more attention, care for yourself and others, deal with distractions, and incorporate Buddha's ageless instructions into our modern working life.

It's time to wake up and start working in a more enlightened way. One that is right for you, right for our health, right for your sanity, and right for the world.

Loved the book

Clear and simple and effective. Exactly what I needed at this moment to balance my life.

Fantastic audiobook- recommended to both Buddhist and non-Buddhist alike

Great book for experienced Buddhist practitioners and lay persons alike. Tips on how to live a happier life while having to stay engaged to the rat race. Written in a way that’s fun, funny and very enlightening

the constant change in sound is distracting

it sounds like retakes with different equipment is editing in. different microphone, background etc. Tone of voice sounds different with next sentence. very choppy. had to return book
