Editorial Reviews

Review

Belonging to the genre of books like those of Dale Carnegie/Napoleon Hill, [it] manages to remain fresh and different. --Bowker/BookWire

Five stars/extremely recommended book - a rating for life-changing books with enlightening insights only one in a million possess. --Managing Editor, Book Review Club

From the Publisher

Mastery At Work is an enlightening and informative new book that is transforming the way people think about life and work. Drawn from proven business strategies and ancient spiritual teachings, Mastery At Work presents practical techniques anyone can embrace and use to work more productively and with greater skill, as well as to lead an uncommonly joyful life, regardless of daily circumstances. Based on The Three-Fold Path to Mastery philosophy created by the author, Mastery At Work describes the pathways that can lead to a life of success, expertise, balance and fulfillment.

Taken together, these pathways (Soft Skills, Professional Skills, and Continuous Improvement) comprise a powerful life-way, as appropriate for the longtime seeker as it is for the spiritual novice. Almost all of us work, and work (especially nowadays) can be fraught with difficulties: lack of meaning, lack of security, frustrating relationships, to name a few. Grace, through this prism of work, is providing the public at large a process into deeper experience and understanding. This is a book you can give to anyone as an ultimate, self-guided personal growth method, whether or not they’ve ever uttered the word spirituality. To the degree that they embody and express the 18 Keys, they will open inner doors and what they learn and experience will find its outer reflection. Mastery At Work is a work about Mastery Of Life. Belongs on every bookshelf.

This review is from: Mastery at Work (Paperback)

Every time I pick it up, I find myself reading the same words I read a month ago, but yet again, I see something new in them.

Before Mastery at Work, I was a college graduate, confused about what he wanted and how he was going to survive. I didn't want to work, becuase I didn't see any purpose in joining the "rat race".

After Mastery at Work, I am an eager college graduate with something to offer my employer and the World. I am ready to serve and reap the reward of my service to others. My career IS my spiritual path!!!

Mastery at Work has changed the way I look at interviewing and the job search in general. I see opportunities, not problems. Oh, and I can't wait to start a full-time job so I can put ALL of the 18 Keys to Success to the test!

Meanwhile, the 18 keys inform my everyday life in relationship with friends, family, and business people (those I'm interviewing with).

A bit of advice: Skim the book from front to back first to get the birds eye. Then go back and read chapter for chapter. When skimming the first time, the Chapter summaries at the end of each chapter are MOST helpful. One could benefit greatly just by reading all the Chapter Summaries in this book.

This review is from: Mastery at Work (Paperback)

I started reading self-help books at 15. In 25 years, only one other self-help book had has as deep an impact on me as Mastery At Work. I'll give you a hint, the other book was written 80 years ago by Dale Carnegie. I credit Mastery At Work for fostering in me a new career power and joy that was missing before. Plain and simple, this book is for winners, and those who want to learn to be winners.
