"Skillfully integrate[s] timeless Buddhist wisdom with challenges faced by the present-day employee." -- Publishers Weekly

Includes an introduction by His Holiness the Dalai Lama

For thousands of years, Buddhism has provided a spiritual foundation for the daily lives of millions around the world. But does Buddhism have anything to offer us -- Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike -- in today's world of work?

Franz Metcalf and BJ Gallagher think it does. Spiritual wisdom, Western or Eastern, inspires and instructs us in living a good life. And that's just as true at work as at home. Buddha mind -- a source of calm, compassion, and insight -- exists within each of us, not just the historical Buddha. Being Buddha at Work shows how to embody that mind in the stress and clamor of the workplace -- how to tap into the Buddha consciousness so we can relieve daily tensions and greet challenges with awareness, equanimity, and good humor.

The book's first section, "Becoming a Mindful Worker," covers Buddha's wisdom for our own work; the second, "Cultivating Mindful Work Relationships," focuses on how to work with other people; the third, "Creating a Mindful Workplace," deals with broader organizational topics. There is wisdom here for everyone -- from frontline workers and team members, to supervisors and managers, to top executives and organizational leaders.

"What do you get when a Buddhist scholar and a workplace expert write a book together?... A treatise with profound spiritual implications and practical applications." -- Marshall Goldsmith, New York Times-bestselling author of The Earned Life

"This little book is like having Buddha as one of your mentors or coaches -- someone who can help you with real-world problems." -- Ken Blanchard, New York Times-bestselling coauthor of The One Minute Manager®
