ABOUT THE BOOK

Z.B.A. Zen of Business Administration:
How Zen Practice Can Transform Your Work and Your Life

Though this task of integrating our full selves with our work may at times appear daunting, the challenge and the effort are not separate from the path. This book provides powerful tools, ideas, and insights and may give you the courage and confidence to make the effort to see yourself, your work, and the world as they truly are. Integrating Zen practice and business practice allows us to find our work and ourselves, beyond our ideas, and to experience both the ordinariness and the immensity of our lives.

All of us are leaders in one way or another.
