"We all need to Chop Wood and Carry Water". In Thich Nhat Hanh's latest teachings on how to use applied Buddhism in daily life, he looks at how we deal with workplace scenarios, handle home and family responsibilities, and endure traffic jams and other challenges of modern life. By carefully examining our everyday choices he encourages us to become a lotus in a muddy world by building mindful communities, learning about compassionate living, and come to an understanding of our inert "Buddha nature." [Work] aims at contributing to new models of leadership and doing business, but is also full of life-coaching advise and finding our true happiness"-- Provided by publisher.

perfect if you are burned out at work! submitted by sxuereb on July 16, 2017, 6:47am I love this author and loved the topic. He shares lots of "how tos" if you are burnt out at work. How to revitalize your environment to remind you to practice at work, not just in your free time. My favorite suggestion: "Try not to divide your time into 'my time' and "work time'. All time can be your own time if you stay in the present moment and keep in touch with what's happening in your body and mind. There's no reason why your time at work should be any less pleasant than your time anywhere else."

A must have for anyone who works submitted by rmhawkins on June 15, 2020, 2:58pm This book is a must have for any working person. It helps you find the mindfulness practices already present in work and increase your enjoyment of life overall.
