Eric Pennington has penned a book that can inspire and help anyone who has ever worked in a structured corporate environment. He's smart and very thoughtful about the purpose of business and our attitudes about work and life. Insightful, meaningful and a very easy read for those of us pressed for time in our busy lives. Every leader should have this on their bookshelf.

Eric has written a very interesting, compelling little book. Though I was only in the midst of Corporate America for about 4 years (until the Tech Bubble burst), I could readily relate to almost all of the stories he includes, many humorous and tragic at the same time. Eric points the way out of the malaise of the work-a-day rat-race to a more meaningful, more authentic human existence that is possible even within the corporate world. And even if you don't work for a large company, there are plenty of treasures and life-lessons to be unearthed within these pages that will enrich anyone's life who's willing to pursue the truth they inhabit.
