The Diamond Cutter

The Buddha on Managing Your Business and Your Life

De: Geshe Michael Roach, Lama Christie McNally

Narrado por: Geshe Michael Roach

With a unique combination of ancient and contemporary wisdom from Tibetan Buddhism, The Diamond Cutter presents readers with empowering strategies for success in their personal and professional lives. The book is presented in three layers. The first is a translation of The Diamond Sutra, an ancient text of conversations between the Buddha and his close disciple Subhuti. The second contains quotes from some of the best commentaries in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. And the third layer, the main text, is the practical application of Buddhist philosophies to the world of business, based upon Geshe Michael Roach's 17-years of experience as an employee of the Andin International Diamond Corporation, a company that grew during his tenure from four employees to a world leader in the jewelry industry.

Roach's easy style and spiritual understanding make The Diamond Cutter an invaluable source of timeless wisdom for those familiar or unfamiliar with Tibetan Buddhism. His focus on practical personal and business applications has resonated with and changed the lives of hundreds of thousands of individuals the world over since its original publication.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A Cross between the Dalai Lama's ethics and Stephen Covey's Seven Habits, The Diamond Cutter will have you gardening a path to the bank." (Amazon.com review)
"Here is wise advice and counsel on an ethical and prosperous way of being in the workday world based on Tibetan Buddhist principles." ( Spirituality and Health)

Very rich book that opens up your perspective.

This is a book you must dedicate time in understanding. You can't read or hear it just once. If you are considering getting into this book, get ready to make a commitment to growth and self improvement and to studying these principles mentioned, otherwise it is a waste of your time. I recommend it but do keep in mind that you will never be the same. Even if you are only willing to open your mind just a little bit.

amazing way to understand our life and business

look at things as they are, not as you are, and you'll understand emptiness.

I require to listen to it more than once to really understand it, but it changes the way I look at things even now.

pacing

The contect may improve as it continues, but as an audio program, it is a great listen if you are in need of sleep 😴

Very positive book.

Love the book. I purchased an audio book, and found it to be a very inspirational. Wrote many notes to myself, and meanwhile practicing advices, as I read each chapter. I feel the energy level shifting around me to a positive level. Your book teaches me to be a better person, and with baby steps, I am using all essentials points listed in Chapter 7 on daily basis. I must admit, I replayed each chapter at least three times. Each additional times it made more sense and I gained a better understanding to every word and meaning. I am eager to share your teachings with all my family and friends. Thank you!!!

This book can be life changing

The positive message for how living your life focused on giving of oneself, caring for others, being concerned for their well being and success will lead to a life of happiness, wellbeing and prosperity for you as well is inspirational at best. A wonderful book that I plan to work toward incorporating into my daily work and family routines.
