Publisher's summary

Consciousness, teaches Fred Kofman, is the capacity to observe, choose, and act in accord with your values. And "conscious business" means using that ability at every level of your work: in being aware of the needs of others and expressing your own; in seeing the hidden emotional obstacles that may be holding your team back; in making good decisions under pressure; and even in delving into such "spiritual" questions as "Who am I?" and "What is my real purpose here?"

In Conscious Business, you'll join this visionary teacher and founder of Leading Learning Communities to master these skills.

Critic reviews

"Useful tools for the corporate world and for individual growth....His manner is pleasant, acknowledges the individual, never condescends, and offers some genuinely helpful reminders about human nature." (ForeWord Magazine)

Wish I had discovered this book 20 years earlier

If you only read one book in your life, make sure it is this one.

A must read for everyone!

I have read many great books. But there are a few of them that I feel like buying for everyone I know.
This book makes you connect your true self with the so fake business world in a practical yet authentic way.
Highly recommended!!!

A book for accomplished CEOs

Being in business tends to make one cynical and most ideals tend to be sacrificed in the name of money. This is the antidote.

Invaluable reading.

Read this early and often. Invaluable. Applies to life in general and not just business. The format is great. It's more like a talk and not just reading words off a page. The author/presenter's casual style makes this material easy to comprehend.

My favourite Book on Audible

This is the only audible book I really cherish and I have listen to twice, if not more. Fred gives so many examples that just identify perfectly with corporate life = but on the other hand, the narration is almost like a lecture, not a book. You will change the way you work with people after reading this book.

EXCELLENT

It's an excellent book for anyone who wants to improve the way they do business, the way they communicate with each other, the way they handle relationships, and many other aspects of our daily life. It's all practical and you can start using it right away. I really liked it. And I do recommend it to everyone.

Best Ever

I have listen to this audiobook 3 times and each time it deepens my insights of how I can improve my own interactions in the business world. I found that Fred was able to articulate and make real much of what I have believed in but have been unable to put into a cohesive framework.
Great Audiobook!!

Not worth listening to

Would you try another book from Fred Kofman and/or Fred Kofman?

I would not listen to another book by Fred, mostly because his spoken English is awful

What was most disappointing about Fred Kofman’s story?

Good concepts, but everything is drawn out and his explanations get extremely boring after a while. Also, I couldn't stand listening to him speak and I hope he wrote it in better than he spoke it.

Would you be willing to try another one of Fred Kofman’s performances?

No

What character would you cut from Conscious Business?

Get a professional to read it, although not sure that would change my overall opinion
