Anderson "gets it"! Productivity always comes back to individual performance, courage, taking risks and speaking the truth, and The Path to Corporate Nirvana is perfect! Anderson's willingness to share her own path shows remarkable courage, and her examples of how her clients have used the wisdom in practical, profitable ways are believable and exciting! This may be the "gold standard" as we shift from show, hierarchical, command-and-control models to faster, more efficient and more humane models of collaborative success. Brilliant! Easy to read, and more importantly, practical and easy to implement.

5.0 out of 5 stars Corporate Nirvana's insights are for the real world, October 29, 2003

This review is from: The Path to Corporate Nirvana: An Enlightened Approach to Accelerated Productivity (Hardcover)

 Corporate Nirvana was fascinating! My husband and I met at work in a corporate setting. After our children were born I left the corporate world. At first, I was attracted to Corporate Nirvana for what it might offer my husband in his corporate job. The more I read, the more the message hit home. I suspect that most marriages and basically all recurring interpersonal relationships face these same issues Ms. Anderson addresses in Corporate Nirvana.

When I left the corporate world I thought I could say good-bye to "PNVs (Popping Neck Veins)," but strong emotions don't just abide in the workplace. Now that I was not bringing home the paycheck I once had, I felt compelled to justify my existence (or, in Ms. Anderson's words, p. 125, "feel...worthy of recognition") in other ways. Whether it's working with a spouse or the significant others in your daily life to manage house repairs, engineer remodeling projects, finesse finances, delegate household chores or hire help, navigate social situations, bring up children, deal with school administrators, or run errands--there are endless opportunities in life for aggravation; and so there are also endless opportunities to be "AAA," "able to appreciate the usefulness of aggravation."

Corporate Nirvana showed me that by letting go of negative self judgments, I could put my ego in check, come from a place of wanting to be of service to others in my life, and develop the intuition to experience creative learning from the Spirit (all of which most recently led to this letter). Until Ms.Anderson's book I didn't have the paradigm to apply these principles consistently. Now with Corporate Nirvana, my sense of worth can be "attained independent of particular events, how projects turn out, or what results are accomplished." Thanks for the script!
