'I expect this book to be a landmark in the journey toward cultivating the human side of enterprise....In an era entranced by 'the new' our greatest hope, ironically, may lie in rediscovering 'the old.'...This is a precious book. I hope it finds its way into the hands of readers who are as committed to the future as is its author.'
Peter M. Senge, author, The 5th Discipline

¦Debashis offers, through experiential methods, an opportunity for individuals to experience the power of the mind through visioning, concentration, and focusing on personal and corporate change.¦

2.0 out of 5 stars A mediocre treatment, September 15, 1999
By A Customer
The bottom line with respect to this book is that there is simply little that is particularly new or remarkable here. On the contrary, this author's treatment of the subject matter is far more muddled and meandering that other contemporary treatments of "ancient" wisdom applied to contemporary leadership/workplace issues.

There is a great deal that needs improvement in this book. The subject matter has been hashed over a lot recently, but good treatments would still be of interest. There's a lot of loose talk about "scientific evidence this ... " and "science is now showing that ... " etc. with no attempts to provide references or corroborating information. The author's writing style is such that he tends to careen from one thing to another in a way that I found simply annoying.

In short, in my opinion this is not one of the better books in this area by any means.

1.0 out of 5 stars Painful , June 16, 2007
By G. Vescovo (New Mexico) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The book is best summarized as mysticism and a butchery of philosophical, scientific, and business thought. If you like Deepak Chopra style quasi-eastern religious self-help books then this book is for you! Personally, I think don't think it will help you in your job or your life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly Exceptional, June 15, 1999
By denpesc@eosinc.com (Springfield, Illinois) - See all my reviews
This is one of the most remarkable books on leadership and management I've found. The author takes principles from ancient religions and more recent heroes like Gandhi and Mother Theresa and presents them in the context of developing leadership characteristics through conscious awareness. Chatterjee correctly realizes that true leadership springs naturally from the leader's self-mastery, and eloquently lays out the paths that must be followed. This is a book to be read and re-read in small bites and then contemplated in silence. An achievement of the first order, and deserving of much attention.
