This book offers a unique and perhaps counter-intuitive perspective on corporate leadership in today's frenetically-paced business world. Nakai and Schultz suggest that slowing down internal mechanisms and finding balance in life affords leaders the clarity to focus on the visionary and creative processes which will have the greatest impact on the long-term viability of the organizations they lead.

The book is full of current, anecdotal stories and examples from the leaders of today's large corporations. Also included is a unique interactive section which invites the reader to read a quotation and spend several moments reflecting on a thought-provoking question which relates the quote to a reader's personal experience. The chapter is constructed throughout with one-to-a-page of these "thought experiments."

A great read and a unique, thought-provoking experience. Highly recommended.

I had the chance to work with Paul Nakai for about two years. Without a doubt - this man practices what he preaches. A man of wonderful spirit, inner peace and a sense of humor that makes him a please to be around. At it's core - the book captures Paul's thoughts in a wonderful fashion.
