5.0 out of 5 stars Paula helps students gain personal mastery, September 5, 2007

By	Stephen C. Iman (Dana Point, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've used Paula's book for undergraduate teaching with very good success. Students find her point of view interesting and enjoy the read. This is not the standard OB textbook with a "march of failed theories". Instead, Paula effectively knits observations, insights, research from a host of traditions toward insights for managing the daily life of sensible beings.
