Book Description

Odyssey S February 22, 2001
Throw Out The Old Rule Book! Replace it with Something… Ancient! Sacred Business offers a way out of confusion - confusion of decisions and priorities (what should I do next?) and of purpose (why am I doing all this stuff anyway?). Amidst constant change, we want to live productive, balanced, minimum-stress lives. We want to understand and be understood. Sacred Business finds the solution in ancient wisdom. We need a process of remembering rather than invention. The same is true of organizations. How can we do more with less? How can we create shared purpose and build communal spirit? Sacred Business shows that organizations too can change and grow by understanding and using wisdom from our past. The traditional teachings which underpin all cultures and societies but which have hitherto been ignored by business are in fact highly relevant and practical and already finding their way into the world’s most enlightened companies. Now is your chance to join them.

From the Inside Flap

Sacred Business "Weird, brilliant, amazing, excellent, mellow." The IT Group, IPC Magazines "The project involved ‘waking up’ and empowering what used to be a very sleepy old-fashioned company. Two years down the road we now have empowered managers, a culture of trust and cooperation and the ghosts of the company’s past are laid to rest." I. D. Smith, Operations Director, Cathodeon Ltd "From personal experience of the work of David and Heather I believe they offer a unique approach, enabling individuals to access and grow parts of their being that have long been latent." Bob Mannering, Change Agent Associate, Shell International "David and Heather ride the edge between ancient/modern, spiritual/temporal, masculine/feminine, and find true alchemy in their collaboration. Full of humor, insights, wisdom and raw honesty, this is a deep and delightful book!" Gabrielle Roth, Author of Sweat Your Prayers: Movement as spiritual practice and Maps to Ecstasy: Teachings of an urban shamen.

1.0 out of 5 stars Because of Campbell, The Book Has No Credibility, June 16, 2004
This review is from: Sacred Business: Resurrecting the Spirit of Work (Paperback)
Firth made the worst possible choice for a collaborator, one who has no credibility whatsoever. Campbell is a member of the "Deer Tribe," a cult led by a red haired Irish racist who poses as American Indian and is preparing for a race war. Keep in mind that is where your money will go if you purchase this book.
